Chapter 21 Please give it a try
Hudu, Huawei 2012 Laboratory.
Just at six o'clock in the morning, the person in charge Gong Xiangdong had already arrived at the company.
Looking around, one-third of the workstations in the hall were still on, and they were exploding their heads against the chicken coop, and the engineers with thick dark circles seemed to have been in for another night.
"If this continues, you will be exhausted." Gong Xiangdong sighed deeply and said to himself in his heart.
The four domestic mobile phone giants have been chasing Samsung and Apple over the years because of their hard work, overloading work, and tenacity that normal people can't imagine.
The effect is of course very impressive. Samsung's market share in China has dropped from its peak of 30% to less than one percent today.
Within five years, from 30% of the share, it was killed to only one percent. What is this?
A unique concept in the world!
Too damn cruel!
That's Samsung, the only company on earth that can manufacture all parts of mobile phones, has a unique full industrial chain in the world.
Samsung, a company, accounts for 20% of South Korea's national GDP.
Industry insiders have long pointed out that Samsung is simply a country disguised as a company!
This company is so huge that it is being taken care of by all departments across South Korea from top to bottom.
Any commercial opponent who starts a war with Samsung is actually going to war against the entire South Korea! The whole South Korea will unanimously mobilize the power of the entire country to support Samsung company frantically.
However, the four domestic mobile phone giants are starting a war against Samsung!
It means reducing their market share in China to less than one percent!
But ordinary people outside the industry will never know the sweat and sadness in it.
Gong Xiangdong walked through the hall and came to his office. He put down his paper bag and sat at his desk. He looked at the white sky outside the window, and fell into deep thoughts.
No matter how hard they try, they still have a ceiling. The United States has issued regulations to completely ban Huawei's mobile phones from entering, and they cannot enter Apple's base camp.
In the European market, Asian market, and South American market, Samsung and the four domestic giants are in a price war.
Samsung has a full industrial chain, they can build everything themselves, and the cost can be compressed to very cheap.
Because the four domestic giants have to purchase a large number of flash memory chips and screens from Samsung because of the incomplete mobile phone industry chain.
Some time ago, Samsung made a tough move and raised the price.
In the Chinese market, it is impossible to beat the four domestic giants, so it can be compensated with hardware.
The price of flash memory chips and screens was directly greatly increased, and a large amount of blood was cut on Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo and Opal.
As a result, the annual report is now out. Samsung's mobile phone department has indeed not increased its profits, but the electronics department's profits have risen by 27% due to the reason of sucking blood from China.
Huawei is a straight male company composed of engineers. There are more than 200,000 people in the company, of which nearly 100,000 are engineers.
This ratio is really terrifying, which leads to the company's thinking pattern being very linear. If you like to engage in technology, the more ruthless the opponents press, the more they invest in technology.
So far, Huawei's annual R&D expenses exceed 100 billion yuan, ranking sixth in the world, and almost all its capital reserves are used for R&D.
As an industry giant, Lenovo's annual R&D expenses are only 8 billion yuan, and it is nicknamed by netizens as the least enterprising technology giant.
"Running speed is life. How can we increase the running speed to a level close to Apple?"
Gong Xiangdong fell into deep thoughts. His biggest goal was to get close to Apple. As for overtaking on the curve, he never dared to think about it.
In order to improve the speed of mobile phones, in addition to Huawei's own laboratory, Gong Xiangdong also visited all the top laboratories in the country and promised huge technical returns, including the artificial intelligence laboratory hosted by Sha Zhan.
"They actually came!"
When Gong Xiangdong received a call from his secretary, he was surprised. He looked at the electronic watch on the table. It was not until eight o'clock in the morning, Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong had already arrived at their company?
There must be something important...
"Why are you still standing there? Please invite them in." Gong Xiangdong said hurriedly.
The three of them met and greeted each other. Sha Zhan praised him, "The new MATE series you recently released is of good quality. Pengdong and I are using it, and I heard the rumors that this time you used BOE's screen!"
"I really didn't expect that domestic screens can be so good. It should be the first time to provide OLED screens for mobile phones with a price of 6,000 to 15,000 yuan?"
Gong Xiangdong smiled bitterly, "It's all about tears. To make top-quality OLED screens, you need to use Neon Country TOKKI brand evaporation machine, which is the most important machine on the entire production line. Apple has regulations that the screens they use must be evaporated by TOKKI's machine."
"Do you know what Samsung has done? They have purchased TOKKI for five years, and now they can't even buy a machine like this on the market."
"It's another forced technological monopoly. I have heard too much about the same thing over the years." Gu Pengdong sighed.
Gong Xiangdong continued, "BOE spent countless money and found countless channels, and finally got a TOKKI evaporation machine, which made the OLED screen we needed."
"We used the test, color accuracy, color gamut, brightness, resolution, analysis, and almost all technical indicators, exactly the same as the top-level screens produced by Samsung, so we immediately decided to use BOE's screen on our flagship phones."
"As long as domestic products meet the standards, we certainly support them. However, after all, BOE only has a TOKKI evaporation machine, and the output is limited, so this time the MATE series actually uses screens produced by LG. BOE is 60% and LG is 40% like it."
The three of them were silent.
BOE has produced the top 2K screens, and together with the giant screen manufacturer LG, it has become a supplier of Huawei's flagship phones. It is indeed quite exciting, but it is also very sad to think about it carefully.
I begged my grandfather to sue my grandmother, and it took me a lot of money to get a TOKKI machine.
This is the world. Industry giants that have long monopolized the market are doing their best and have huge energy. When you want to block you, you can't even buy a machine.
As for the key equipment such as top evaporation machines, only Neon Country companies are able to produce them. If our country can build evaporation machines themselves, would it still be necessary to get the bird's breath?
Alas ~
"Why did you talk about such a heavy topic?" Gong Xiangdong finally reacted, "The two deans came to see me early in the morning, probably not to come to reminisce about the past, right?"
Sha Zhan smiled slightly and looked at Gu Pengdong.
Gu Pengdong opened the small bag he carried with him and took out three mobile phones from it, namely Apple, Samsung, and Huawei's own flagship mobile phones.
"You try it and see which phone runs faster," said Sha Zhan.
Gong Xiangdong frowned, "All old friends, don't joke like this. We have done this kind of experiment many thousands of times. I admit that our mobile phones are not as fast as Apple, but isn't it okay to go hand in hand with Samsung?"
Gong Xiangdong was a little depressed, "You guys came to bury me early in the morning, right? I admit that my skills are not as good as others, but we have been working hard."
"We all know the situation." Sha Zhan said lightly, "Believe me, you will understand after you try."
PS: Chapter 12 pretended to be a pussy, but was scolded as a dog.
Every author has his own field of expertise. Since everyone thinks that Jiuer is not good at writing and pretending, then I won’t write. In the future, I will introduce to you more technical inventions and the current industrial chain pattern.
Jiuer still knows some things about science fiction and technology for nearly ten years.
PS2: Huawei mate20pro, mate20Pro Porsche version, the first supplier is BOE and the second supplier LG, all of which are real content.
This is the first time that domestic OLED screen has entered the Android flagship supply chain for the first time in history. Jiuer is very happy, so she wrote it into this book.
The jokes about tokki evaporation machine are also real. Currently, all domestic display manufacturers have only this machine.
Chapter completed!
