Chapter 15 The journey is far away

Early on Sunday morning, Xiao Qi went out with a lot of snacks and clothes.

Chen Yulian heard that he was going to Rongcheng for a few days and stuffed him a large suitcase. If the father and son hadn't stopped her, she might have to prepare another one.

The Xiao family was still wealthy. Apart from the gifts and snacks, Chen Yulian generously gave Xiao Qi three thousand yuan. In addition to paying the food and participation fees, he bought something for him.

Anyway, my son never uses money indiscriminately, so Chen Yulian is so happy to give this money.

However, Xiao Xu and Chen Yulian didn't know that Xiao Qi, who had left the house, just got on the car to play in Rongcheng. After a while, he got on the plane to Nanwan in the afternoon.

Nanwan is the first major city for China to open up to the outside world. In just over twenty years, it built this small fishing village into an international metropolis, becoming the fourth largest city in China after the capital, the East and Guangdong Province.

At the same time, the Winter Pavilion close to Nanwan is the center of China's manufacturing industry and the core of the mobile phone manufacturing industry.

At the most exaggerated time, the Winter Hall is responsible for processing 30% of the world's mobile phones. If a sneeze in the Winter Hall will shock the mobile phone market.

Because Nanwan is a city built from nothing, the urban planning here is very systematic, with streets and buildings everywhere, brightly lit everywhere, and it looks very modern and fashionable.

Xiao Qi didn't feel much when he got off the airport BUS and stood in the city center of Nanwan.

There are more high-rise buildings in the United States than in South Bay, and they are more distinctive. Compared with these buildings built for the sake of architecture, Xiao Qi doesn't like them very much and feels that he doesn't have his own soul.

Xiao Qi came to Nanwan, and his primary purpose was to find a Baodao company that established a branch in Nanwan in 2003.

This treasure island company is called MediaTek Technology Co., Ltd., referred to as MediaTek (MTK). It is not very famous in the mainland today. Even in 2013, it was not very famous in the impression of ordinary people.

But in the near future, MediaTek will be well-known and powerful in the mobile phone industry, especially in the mainland mobile phone industry.

Because MediaTek provides a mobile phone company in China with a mobile phone chip they developed by themselves, this mobile phone chip includes five major modules: CPU processor, channel encoder, digital signal processor, modem and interface, which has since made the mobile phones separated from the core technology of purchasing several chips for combined production.

As a result, the production of mobile phones has completely lost its core technology.

To put it bluntly, MediaTek combines the motherboard and software functions of the mobile phone and makes a chip. If you buy it, you only need to simply assemble MediaTek's chip and case, keyboard, speaker, antenna, earpiece, microphone and battery, etc., and that is a mobile phone that can be used!

As for shells, speakers, batteries, etc., there are many things in Winter Hall, and you can find them at all brands and prices. For mobile phone manufacturers, there is no patent or technology at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that a farmer who has been trained for a week can still skillfully assemble mobile phones.

To put it bluntly, since MediaTek's mobile phone chips came out, the R&D departments of many mainland mobile phone manufacturers have largely lost their value, because mainland mobile phone companies no longer need any technology. In fact, companies in history including Waveguide, Konka, Lenovo, Bubuga, etc. have directly laid off the R&D departments.

Of course, these are things that will not happen next year, in May and June 2006. It was not until then that several major manufacturers would gradually accept the promotion of MediaTek's new generation of chips, and officially let MediaTek start to spread its own chapters in the mobile phone industry in China.

MediaTek is now using a single-mobile phone chip they developed in 2003. Compared with the several models launched in 2006, the performance and price are extremely weak, so no manufacturers buy their accounts now.

It is September 2005, and MediaTek's new mobile phone chips should be under development and testing, and they will not be fully formed until around the Spring Festival.

After MediaTek's mobile phone chip solution came out, it not only brought about huge changes in mobile phone production, but also a super subversive price in the mobile phone market.

Before MediaTek's mobile phone chips were launched, the mobile phone industry was controlled by large domestic and foreign companies. Mobile phones below 1,500 are rarely seen, and the mainstream models are all over 2,000 or more.

Once MediaTek's mobile phone chip is used, the manufacturing cost of the mobile phone will be directly reduced to several hundred yuan per unit.

Those small companies can launch mobile phones with decent performance at a price of 1,000 yuan or even lower. At that time, people will flock to buy cheap mobile phones, which will cause those Chinese mobile phone companies that are not of good quality and do not have core technology to collapse.

Even companies such as Nokia, Motorola, Sony and Ericsson will be greatly impacted, and they will have to lower their prices.

The era of huge profits that can be achieved by mobile phones can be said to have become history since the launch of MediaTek's mobile phone chips.

In the days to come, mobile phones will become cheaper and cheaper, and many people should actually thank this company from Baodao.

The mobile phone that Xiao Qi wanted to assemble by himself was actually the scientific name of the one that everyone is familiar with in the future - a copycat phone.

Xiao Qi’s idea was to take advantage of MediaTek’s mobile phone chips before it launched a new mobile phone chip and take advantage of their self-confidence to use their foresight to win MediaTek’s mobile phone chip contract in one fell swoop.

After getting the mobile phone chip, there is no need for any technology. At that time, Xiao Qi used MediaTek's mobile phone chips to use the time difference that there was no large-scale use, so he commissioned the factory to assemble a batch of quality counterfeit machines and sell them in the third-level and fourth-level market.

Without the exploitation of layers of middlemen, Xiao Qi even decided to launch it at a super shocking price.

Such a cheap and easy-to-use mobile phone, can those people in remote counties and towns not be happy to pay for it?

Of course, this is a future event.

What Xiao Qi has to do now is to find the general manager of MediaTek and convince him to let them accept the cooperation plan they proposed.

Regarding this big thing that I have never done before, Xiao Qi said it was false to be not nervous.

But after returning from rebirth, the boy whose courage and personality had greatly changed, had absolutely no intention of giving up.

If you work hard, you may not succeed.

But if you don’t work hard, then there will be no hope.
