0411. The determination to open a new era

/*Something was not going well today. This chapter was written in 3 different ways and took 5 hours to finalize, but I ran out of time. So I will post it first, and everyone will come back to it in 1 hour.*/

"Zimo has done something big this time. I thought it would take at least 5 years for your Emperor Penguin's first smartphone to be released."

Ren Zhengfei held the cup and raised it a little higher towards Ning Zimo. His action caused other people on the table to also lift the cup.

Looking at the faces at the dining table, Ning Zimo couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Actually, I spent more money and made preparations. Otherwise, our iPhones would not be able to catch up with June 1, 2008."

It will be available on the market today.”

After coming out of the Quaternary Laboratory, Ning Zimo simply took his father and aunt to entertain the specially arrived Huawei delegation in the small banquet hall of the "Emperor Penguin House".

It was already past dinner time, and except for them and some staff, there was no one else in the small banquet hall.

Since he still had work to do in the afternoon, Ning Zimo naturally couldn't let everyone drink.

Just holding a cup of water and replacing wine with tea, Ning Zimo continued to speak in front of everyone's curious eyes: "I didn't expect that the efficiency of our Quaternary Laboratory would be so fast, so after making this year's release plan last year

, there are many alternatives for many chips.”

"Oh? Do you really have many preparations?" Ren Zhengfei was even more curious.

Ning Zimo nodded, "Yes, the Quaternary Laboratory has made many preparations from the beginning, and there is a project team following up on the chip integration plan."

"Integration plan?" Ren Zhengfei frowned and asked, "Are you planning to outsource all the chips like Oppo does?"

The chips Ren Zhengfei mentioned were purchased from Oppo were exactly the mobile phone assembly solutions implemented by Ning Zimo’s father, Ning Guoping’s Oppo.

In 2007, MediaTek released a platform solution that integrates multiple core chips. The CPU, IF, power chip, touch chip, and Bluetooth chip are all available. The integration solution is also very stable. Basically, the processing manufacturer only needs to purchase the corresponding accessories.

Can be assembled into a mobile phone.

It can be said that it was MediaTek’s platform solution that kicked off China’s copycat phone market.

Although copycat phones are a bit vulgar, Ning Zimo still recommended his father to take this path before the chip he developed was officially released. At that time, Ning Zimo had some communication with his father Ning Guoping, and they planned to use qnx

After the official release of the core Android system, my father also got involved in the field of mobile smart devices.

As for Oppo, it was the first to set foot on the copycat phone. On the one hand, it was to let his father reward the fast train that could quickly accumulate funds. On the other hand, it was to let his father's Oppo company practice first.

As a result, Oppo's copycat phones were indeed on the right track. In just half a year, Oppo's copycat phones opened the market in Africa, and 1.5 million mobile phones were sold within 180 days, bringing a profit of 75 million to my father's Oppo company!

But the path that my father's Oppo company can take can only be a plan to implement iPhone mobile phones in the fourth era.

"Last year, we finalized the screen plan with LG and placed an order. At the same time, we booked an advance order for 1 million CPUs with Samsung. As for core components such as GPUs, we also found the corresponding company and placed a batch of advance orders.

."

Ning Zimo shrugged and said, "Actually, this batch of orders confirmed after inspection are intended to become components of the iPhone to be announced on September 1 this year before the Fourth Age comes up with its own SOC."

"Advanced order?" Ren Zhengfei still frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Isn't this batch of chips and components turned into useless waste when they arrive at your warehouse?"

Ning Zimo shook his head, and then said to his father, "I did make such a determination at the beginning, because when I decide to walk on two legs, it is a situation of fighting between the left and right. When both roads are open,

, one of the roads must be abandoned.

But one day when I was chatting with my dad, he said that instead of discarding those components, it would be better for them to try a high-end line. After listening to it, I felt that this was indeed a good choice. So, I

Decided to cheat."

Cheating?

Ren Zhengfei glanced at Ning Guoping with a smile and nodded, "Guoping, will you accept Zimo's move?"

When Ning Zimo spoke, Ning's father smiled and shook his head, "Actually, when Zimo mentioned this to me, Oppo's second order of 200,000 units had already started. I just wanted to give the company a certain future

There is no way out, but I made so much money last year and I don’t know how to develop it when I put it on the assembly line of copycat phones.”

It's time to take the stage!

Although there are still a few months until the expected release of the new iPhone,

But Ning Zimo knew very well that this was indeed a step he had to take personally.

Because only by taking this first step can Emperor Penguins have a greater chance of changing the current difficult situation.

The release of the iPhone is, from a superficial perspective, just the release of a consumer electronics product by Emperor Penguin.

But around the iPhone, a hardware product, Emperor Penguin Group has as many as 71 supporting companies around it.

Among these 71 supporting enterprises, more than 60 are domestic enterprises, while there are less than 8 foreign enterprises.

But if we calculate the cost value of the accessories of supporting companies in iPhones, more than 60 domestic companies together account for less than 60% of the total cost of iPhones!

Taking a detailed look at the past, the multi-touch capacitive LCD screen, the most valuable accessory for iPhones, actually comes from the Korean company LG.

Although Ning Zimo has just prepared to invest in BOE, BOE's current strength is not enough to provide corresponding LCD screens for iPhones.

Although BOE also makes tft active panel tft-ips LCD screens, their current technical capabilities do not meet the requirements for the high-end positioning of iPhones.

If you really want to use BOE's LCD screens, it will take at least another 5-8 years for BOE to develop according to the route planned by Ning Zimo!

As for the core SOC part of the iPhone, Emperor Penguin Quaternary Laboratory has conducted some in-house R&D and design. However, the various cores integrated internally and many of the chips distributed on the motherboard, which is no bigger than the palm of an iPhone, are actually foreign technologies.

.Even manufacturing can only be done through TSMC in Taiwan.

Among the many SOC cores, the CPU core is relatively simple. The technical team of the British ARM company is very familiar with it, and the technical experts hired from Motorola and STMicroelectronics are even more experienced, so that the relevant personnel of the Quaternary Laboratory participated in the development of more

It's like going to study.

The other relatively simple part is the graphics processing chip gpu.

Compared with CPU, Quaternary Laboratory has no experience in GPU kernel development, and ARM is not able to help at the moment. Therefore, Ning Zimo can only leave the design of GPU to Huang Renxun.

Developed by American nvidai company.

The ram part of mobile phone storage, the flash memory technology (flashmemory) used by iPhone mobile phones.

In terms of positioning technology, when the Beidou system that China finally retained did not have more than 20 satellites in the satellite orbit, it could only use American GPS technology. Even the GPS module could only be purchased directly.

Before China's Beidou goes to heaven, it must use irreplaceable American principles at present;

The Bluetooth module also follows the technical rules of the American Bluetooth Association.

Not to mention that the irreplaceable wifi technology is Australian technology.

These components can only use so little foreign technology. The Quaternary Laboratory team has made full preparations and burned enough money!

Not to mention the irreplaceable sony bios

Although Emperor Penguin and Huawei cooperated to develop the baseband chip, the graphics GPU core of the SOC was designed by Emperor Penguin and the American company Nvidai.

The ram chip is from Korea,

, but the core component, the GPU core, is provided by the American Nvidai company.
