On the plane, Zhou Shaoning and Zhou Buqi talked a lot about technical issues in mobile phone manufacturing.

It’s a lot of pressure!

If you just purchase it, it is simple and without any difficulty. Just like the current Aster mobile phone, all core components are bought from abroad and then assembled domestically. Only some common and less important materials can be replaced with domestic ones.

Zhou Buqi is someone who has been there, and he can understand Zhou Shaoning’s worries. It can be said that any practitioner in the domestic science and technology field has such worries.

But many practical problems cannot be solved by relying on the commercial market.

The core components of mobile phones are CPU, camera, baseband chip, radio frequency chip, screen, storage, memory... This is a super huge industrial system.

Let alone a certain company, no country in the world can put together this system.

In a globalized market, the performance of the market is mutual cooperation. American companies make storage, British companies make CPUs, Korean companies make screens, and Japanese companies make cameras... Let's do this together.

To build the entire system from scratch, from low-end to high-end, without external interference and with enough top talents, at least trillions of dollars will be invested.

The domestic environment is quite special, and the entire industrial system must be developed.

This must be general but not precise.

And there is a serious lack of money.

If it is a low-end machine, it can be done mainly by relying on domestic components.

If it is a high-end machine, it is very difficult to use any domestic component material, and it requires a huge breakthrough in technology and process. In other words, one company's technological breakthrough is not enough, and it requires the cooperation of multiple companies.

technological breakthrough.

Zhou Buqi has more than enough will but not enough strength.

He doesn't understand this business at all.

All I know is that the Android system is the general trend, and making Android phones...and this industry is different from the Internet. When it comes to the Internet, foresight is enough. Even if you don't make hard-core technology products, you can still become a giant.

However, in the research of various high-end components, semiconductor materials, and chips, foresight is of no use.

The low-end ones are easy to make.

The high-end involves the collaborative improvement of the entire system. This is real hard-core technology. It is the most advanced science and technology currently mastered by mankind. The manned landing on Mars is nothing in front of high-end chips.

Let alone landing on Mars, giving Zhou Buqi a task and asking him to lead our country's aerospace team to complete the manned moon landing mission is a fantasy.

You can be opportunistic with foresight, but you can't do it in hard core technology, you can only rely on hard power.

For example, Zhou Buqi wants to engage in cloud computing, one year ahead of Microsoft and Google. But now that Microsoft and Google have launched their platforms, Ziweixing’s cloud computing platform still has several key technologies that have not yet been broken through, and it may not be possible next year.

Go online.

Fortunately, his foresight gave Zhou Buqi a way to solve the problem.

No matter what, when making this kind of hardware equipment, our company must not let our company become synonymous with "comprador" in public opinion like Lenovo and Xiaomi.

If you want to do this, you must have independent research and development.

Whether it is in terms of national interests, company brand, or personal reputation, Ziweixing Electronics must have some breakthrough independently developed products in the field of high-end mobile phone components!

It must be done!

Concentrate all the talents, funds and social resources that can be mobilized to achieve one or two breakthroughs in the field of high-end technology!

Complete domestic independence!

At that time, even if 19 of the 20 important components are purchased from abroad, the remaining 1 has the attributes of domestic self-development and can be labeled as self-developed.

This image becomes taller.

Then we will launch a low-end machine series and purchase as many domestic materials as possible for assembly... Ziweixing Electronics' domestic position will be consolidated.

Wen Zhixia coaxed her daughter to sleep and sat over to listen to their conversation. Hearing this, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Out of the twenty, one is made in China, even if it is independently developed.

?How do I feel..."

She didn't say any unpleasant words.

Isn’t this deceiving the people?

Zhou Buqi said helplessly: "If you can make a breakthrough at a certain point, it is already a huge achievement."

Zhou Shaoning nodded, "Well, if it's a low-end field, this is relatively simple. It's like a student improving from 30 points to 60 points. It's easy to improve by 30 points. But it can be improved from 99 points to 100 points, which is an improvement of 1 point.

It is also very difficult. Even if it is a breakthrough at a certain point, we can only choose the simplest point, and it may not be possible."

Zhou Buqi was very curious, "Which point is the easiest?"

Zhou Shaoning said: "Chip."

"What?" Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, "Isn't the chip the most difficult? It would be easier to make pamid modules, audio decoders, modems, transceivers and so on, right?"

Zhou Shaoning said: "It is impossible for us to achieve breakthroughs in any of the individual components. We can only dismantle them to complete a certain part of the technological breakthrough. Since we have disassembled them, of course we have to choose the most important one. Moreover, the chip is our country's card

The neck is the most serious area, and our efforts in this area can show our determination."

"chip……"

"We only do chip design, which is just like drawing blueprints for building a building. Just use ready-made templates and drawing tools to draw. After the drawing is completed, it is handed over to the wafer factory for production according to the drawings."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded and understood through foresight. After the rise of the domestic "chip craze", what large companies did was actually drawing blueprints.

Wen Zhixia didn't understand, "Isn't this too simple? Just draw a blueprint?"

Zhou Shaoning smiled bitterly and said: "Drawing drawings is not that simple. This is a high-end mobile phone chip. There are no more than five companies in the world that can draw drawings for high-end chips. MediaTek is so powerful, it can only play with mid-range and low-end chips."

End. If we want to draw this blueprint clearly, we have to build research centers overseas. Domestic strength alone may not be enough. Chips are the most difficult technological project, and the technology for drawing this blueprint is better than the Shenzhou VI manned vehicle.

Spaceflight is very difficult.”

Wen Zhixia's beautiful eyes widened. She was just an outsider, so how could she understand this? Comparing it through manned spaceflight was so tangible that she was deeply shocked.

Zhou Buqi was also deeply shocked, feeling that the industry was too deep.

No wonder domestic peers are reluctant to enter the market.

Only Huawei dares to play.

It's so scary.

If he hadn't been afraid that Ziweixing Electronics would fall into the whirlpool of "comprador" public opinion, he might not have been able to make up his mind to do this business. Manned spaceflight was a matter of national effort. Now it relies on a single private enterprise to do it.

It really requires a big picture and a lot of courage. Among domestic colleagues, only CEO Ren has such courage.

Of course, now there is an additional Zhoubuqi.

"Then it's settled! Do it!"

Zhou Buqi is not an indecisive person. He makes a decisive decision with a wave of his hand.

Zhou Shaoning glanced at him and stretched out a finger, "From 3g chips to 4g chips, at least 10 billion!"

Wen Zhixia was stunned.

Dumbfounded.

It’s just a drawing, but it costs 10 billion?

So crazy!

Zhou Buqi was very happy because he found that foresight could be used again. He said with a smile: "Stop working on 3g chips. Just bet on the next generation and study 4g chips."

Zhou Shaoning was stunned for a moment and looked at him hesitantly, "Are you too anxious? 4G is still far away! It is estimated that it will not be available within ten years. And the country will only issue 3G licenses next year..."

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "3G has been developing abroad for ten years. If we enter the market now, we can't even catch others' tails."

Zhou Shaoning nodded, comparing any of this, "Indeed, if you enter the market now, there will inevitably be a generation difference."

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "Since we have decided to be high-end, we must be the best in the world! Not to mention the first in the world, at least the top three in the world, the top five in the world. Now we are entering the market to make 3G chips and contact foreign chip companies.

The tail has no meaning. It can only be planned in advance to bet on the next generation."

On this point, he has a say.

Zhou Shaoning still underestimated the development speed of world technology. He thought that 4G would not appear until ten years later. In fact, large-scale construction of 4G base stations began two years later. By 2012, 4G base stations also began to be constructed in China.

Although 3G will not be launched in my country until next year, in just three years, it will be difficult for operators to make back the investment cost of 3G base stations. But this is the advantage of our country. Operators are state-owned enterprises and must obey national strategies. Strategies It is more important than making money. When 4G comes, we must not fall behind.

MediaTek's chips were very popular in the 2G and 3G era, but they made the wrong decision. They obviously underestimated the arrival of 4G, failed to sense the trend of 4G chips, and almost died. Fortunately, they adjusted in time, bet on 5G chips, and worked hard

After studying for many years to draw the drawings of 5G chips, I finally drew it. Although it is not as good as the 5G chips of Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, and Huawei, it has also been given the opportunity to make a comeback. In the mid-to-low-end field, MediaTek still has a strong market.

It’s only 2008, and the 5G era is still a bit far away.

You can bet on 4g chips!

Zhou Buqi became more and more happy, feeling that he had found a new opportunity, "Well, let's study 4g chips. We can make two types, the high-end chip will be placed on high-end models, and the low-end chip will be placed on mid-to-low-end models.

.Domestic consumption power is limited and cannot absorb so many high-end machines. Most of them are mid- to low-end models.”

Zhou Shaoning was speechless, "I repeat, although we are just drawing blueprints, this is also a world-class technological project. Even if we put all our talents and energy into drawing blueprints for a chip, we may not be successful. Not to mention

What is high-end or low-end? Don’t ask so much, just draw it first and then talk about it.”

"Uh, okay." Zhou Buqi waved his hand and narrowed his eyes, "Old Zhou, we must act on this matter immediately. After this trip to Japan is over, you will go to Europe to inspect and build the research institute.
