Rebirth of the Wild Age - chapter 705

Given Song Weiyang’s status as the richest man in China, and given that Song Weiyang’s many predictions have been fulfilled, no one dared to ignore Song Weiyang’s words, at least in mainland China.

Some people even dig out the book “The Future Belongs to China” that year, hoping to find a glimmer of market opportunities from Song Weiyang’s work.

Song Weiyang occasionally utters “wonderful” remarks, and he is always carefully analyzed by interested people. The media and netizens even use this as a gimmick to spread the word.

Sogou post it, Dr. Ma.

The “Tieba” gadget has been born for nearly three years, and Sogou and Baidu have both launched it one after another. But one step ahead, one step at a time, Baidu Tieba has never been able to develop, so it can only follow Sogou Tieba and eat farts.

Now, Baidu is almost abandoning the Tieba project, with very little manpower and funds invested. Sogou Tieba often launches a feature, and Baidu Tieba follows it. It is too lazy to innovate and just copy it. Anyway, the popularity of Tieba is lost.

Sogou Tieba really violent last year, originated from the “Super Girl” audition activities.

A large number of netizens poured into “Super Girl”, and fans canvassed each other’s votes. Even those brain-minded fans who are not bad for money hire navy or hackers to post frantically to discredit competitors. Sogou Post Bar had to launch a verification code function. Anonymous users and newly registered users need to enter a verification code every time they speak, so as to restrict irrigation posts and robot posts.

Sogou unexpectedly surpassed Sina and Sohu in one fell swoop because of the talent show “Super Girl”, becoming the world’s most trafficked Chinese website.

With the end of the audition show, “Super Girl” has gradually become deserted, but “Li Yuchun” has sprung up, becoming the most active and most trafficked post.

The second is “Dr. Ma”!

“Song Weiyang” was actually created earlier, but somehow, netizens gathered in “Dr. Ma”. From the beginning of the fans to the post, it gradually evolved into something similar to the subcultural forum. There are various posts every day, and there are even countless racing parties running rampant.

As for the post of game types, the most popular ones are Shan Hai Jing, Legend, WOW, and World of Warcraft. Tieba members are game enthusiasts, few do not play games, and have not yet developed into a holy place for online carnivals.

“The human mentor, Dr. Ma, is bragging again, threatening that China Mobile will eliminate Nokia next year, and the big brothers who are dissatisfied will come in and chat. The title must be long, long, long…”

This is the top-rated post of “Dr. Ma” today.

“sofa.”

“Bench. One on top.”

“Want to eliminate Nokia? Could China produce a mobile phone that can smash walnuts?”

“Nokia is invincible in the world, long live the Nokia God Cult. Amen!”

“Don’t forget, Dr. Ma also has a nickname of Song Dapao. Although he predicted several times correctly, but he said a lot of nonsense. Bar.”

“Daddy laughed so hard, I actually wanted to eliminate Nokia. You said that China Mobile was smashing Motorola, and I believed it with my mind just waking up. After all, Motorola exposed too much negative news last year. But Nokia is a domestic brand that can surpass it. I have used this Nokia in my hand for three years, and it has fallen on the floor countless times. Once it was dropped in the toilet, taken out and dried with a hair dryer, and it was still able to make calls normally after putting it back on. Awesome?”

“Dr. Ma started by deception, I see how he wants to fool this time.”

“I also read that article. Shenzhou should be planning to launch a new phone next year. Dr. Ma said that it is an epoch-making sci-fi phone, and it is estimated to be super powerful and crush the phones currently on the market.”

“3G mobile phone?”

“It may be a 3G mobile phone, Dr. Ma seems very confident.”

“Hehe, Nokia is abroad, and it’s not that there is no 3G mobile phone. If China has opened a 3G network, Nokia’s 3G mobile phone will come in early, and it will be necessary for Dr. Ma to brag here?”

“I have to say that Dr. Ma has swelled, and now he doesn’t speak through the brain.”

“Domestic mobile phones have no advantage by nature, and I am considered a half industry insider. Huawei has long developed 3G mobile phones. There is no 3G network in China and cannot be sold, and its influence abroad is too weak and there is no market. Not long ago, Huawei and Vodafone Signed a strategic cooperation agreement. In the next few years, Huawei’s 3G mobile phones can only be affixed with the Vodafone brand. Even if China also launches 3G mobile phones, it is estimated that they can only follow the old Huawei path and find a major foreign brand to cooperate and specialize in stickers for others. Brand customization machine.”

“…”

Tieba has become a group, even Song Weiyang’s loyal supporters, do not believe him to eliminate Nokia’s remarks.

In fact, he didn’t say that he would eliminate Nokia, only that he would eliminate Nokia’s existing models, which was taken out of context by magazine editors and netizens.

However, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers, as well as the heads of China of Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and other brands, attach great importance to Song Weiyang’s words! They have two concerns: First, China is developing 3G mobile phones, and breakthroughs have been made; second, China may open a 3G network next year, and Song Weiyang is estimated to have inside information.

Li Dongsheng, the boss of TCL, took the lead in calling Song Weiyang. After some greetings, he eagerly asked: “Boss Song, have you received any news?”

“What news?” Song Weiyang said.

“3G network will be opened next year.” Li Dongsheng said.

Song Weiyang smiled and asked, “Who told you?”

Li Dongsheng said: “Isn’t Shenzhou planning to launch a 3G mobile phone next year? Brother, take a hand, give me a quasi-trust.”

“I really haven’t received any news.” Song Weiyang said.

“Okay, I have a chance to have a meal together.” Li Dongsheng felt quite disappointed. He felt that Song Weiyang was hiding important information.

In the past few years, TCL has invested heavily in the field of mobile phones. Not only did it spend a huge amount of money to acquire the mobile phone department of Alcatel, France, and build a large-scale mobile phone factory (the yield rate of the foundry is too low), it also cooperated with Qualcomm and Philips to develop 3G mobile phones. Both Shenzhen City and Huizhou have 3G mobile phone R&D centers.

That is to say, TCL made a desperate bet in the field of mobile phones, and was stuck there. Sales of 2G mobile phones were bleak, and 3G licenses were delayed.

If you can get the exact information from Song Weiyang, Li Dongsheng is likely to grit his teeth and continue to spend money, and increase the research and development of 3G mobile phone projects.

Song Weiyang did not want to be inexplicably misunderstood, explaining: “China will indeed launch a mobile phone next year, but this has nothing to do with whether China will open a 3G network. Since the project needs to be kept confidential, I can only say so much. You will know it next year. The main target market for our new machine is overseas, and we will not focus on the local market for at least two or three years.”

“Mainly attacking overseas markets? That’s not easy,” Li Dongsheng was surprised and smiled, “Then I wish Boss Song’s development plan can be achieved smoothly.”

“Thank you.” Song Weiyang said.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Huawei’s President Ren called again. The content of the conversation was similar to that of Li Dongsheng. He also thought that China would open a 3G network next year.

Regardless of Song Weiyang’s explanation, although the two were polite on the surface, they still refused to believe the truth. Later, they used their personal connections to inquire about the 3G situation in the Ministry of Information Industry, but found nothing.

Even so, they still felt that Song Weiyang would not aimlessly, he must have heard the tone of a certain big leader. The two companies have already invested a lot of money, and it is very difficult to change their course and easily withdraw. They simply determined that Song Weiyang has internal information, and each continues to invest money to increase 3G research and development!

TCL is only developing 3G mobile phones, and Huawei will also develop related technologies and basic equipment for 3G communications.

I don’t know whether Song Weiyang cheated them or helped them in the long run.

At the same time, Android (China), a joint venture between Ark Technology (Shenzhou Holdings) and Google, once again complained that the funds and personnel were insufficient. Their main task is to make the Android system mobile. Due to the performance problems of the mobile phone chip, the program size of the Android system must be reduced to one-tenth.

Android (China) programmers have worked very hard, but the rewritten Android system still fails to achieve the expected results. However, China Science and Technology is constantly urging the progress. I don’t know how many programmers’ hairline soars. The hair that the R&D department sweeps every day can be used to open a wig factory.

Song Weiyang immediately contacted Google, hoping that both parties would continue to inject capital into Android (China).

But Larry Page did not take Android’s mobile phone system development seriously, and was resolutely reluctant to continue investing. As a result, China Technology, through Ark Technology, injected US$5 million into Android (China) and transferred 20 programmers to increase its shareholding in Android (China) to 65%.

It was not until the beginning of June that the Android system, which could run on ARM11 mobile phone chips, finally came out.

Then, the situation is very awkward…

During the test, only one software can be run, and if two software are run at the same time, it will be stuck. And as the number of uses increases, even if only one software is running, the programmers can only continue to optimize the system.

A programmer from the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed to change the operating mechanism of the system. That is, only the memory space is allocated to the foreground program. When the software exits the background, only the last part of the data is left, and most of the RAM is compressed into the ROM space.

If you follow this method, the Android (mobile version) program has to be overturned and rewritten.

The main reason is that the mobile phone chips are too **** at this time. ARM11 is enough, and it is still difficult to meet the needs of smart phones.

Later, bad news came from the Chengdu R&D Center. The research and development of 3G mobile phone technology was difficult. It is almost impossible to seamlessly connect smart phones next year. The first generation of China’s smart phones may only support 2G. If you want to support 3G networks, you will have to wait until 2008 at least.

However, the development of various small programs went very smoothly.

For example, the mobile phone’s own mini game “Fruit Ninja”, combined with multi-touch technology, has become the best leisure way for the technicians of Luzhou R&D Center. There is also the Jiugongge input method, which was developed in cooperation with Sogou. Sogou is about to launch “Sogou Smart Input Method~www.mtlnovel.com~. Based on the actual situation of each R&D team, Song Weiyang and Shen Fuxing conducted repeated discussions and finally decided to be the first It is better to launch a new generation of Shenzhou smartphones in the domestic market, and only support 2G functions for the time being-Song Weiyang is really not clear, the first generation of Apple mobile phones also only support 2G.

As the project progressed, the “Fire Steal Plan” began to leak in July, but most people regarded this project as whimsical.

Jobs faced the same situation, no matter how secret it was, the content of the project was leaked more and more. In order to cope with this situation, he could only hold a product launch conference first when the iPhone was not perfect, relying on various tricks and falsifications, and it took another six months to officially launch the product.

Song Weiyang was purely asking for it, and he said that he would eliminate Nokia, which attracted friends and businessmen to do everything possible to inquire about the situation. Although each R&D team is only responsible for one piece, many clues are clearly connected, and by the end of the year, they have been inquired clearly.

But it doesn’t matter.

Domestic friends cannot catch up if they want to catch up, while foreign giants don’t care at all.

Take Motorola as an example. In another time and space, even if Apple’s smartphones have been released, Nokia still does not have any sense of urgency or crisis. Even Motorola executives said: “IPhone is not destructive, disruptive and innovative for the mobile phone industry. Because most of the features of IPhone are used by manufacturers such as Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung. The full-screen design It’s the biggest flaw, abandoning the ease of use of the physical keyboard, making it more troublesome for users to input text.”

Nokia didn’t take the IPhone seriously either. Several years had passed by the time it realized the seriousness of the problem.
