The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1216 The Golden Age
Facts have proved that the executives of these companies are all great talents, because their guesses have all come true.

After Jiangnan Group announced that it would fully open up various technologies and authorizations for terminals, in just one day, not only those companies that originally produced terminals went crazy, but even some companies that had nothing to do with terminals went crazy.

There are many companies at home and abroad whose business seems to have nothing to do with terminals. For example, a domestic company that manufactures air conditioners and a foreign company that manufactures tractors have come to contact Jiangnan Group, saying that Hope to get the technical authorization from Jiangnan Group, and then produce terminals.

Later, according to the data released by Jiangnan Group, within a week, more than 3200 companies expressed their hope to obtain relevant technology authorization.

Among them, 98% of the companies that have already produced terminals have issued applications, and the total number of these companies is about 1800.The remaining 1400 companies, even companies that have never built terminals, have rushed over.

In fact, this is the result of the restrictions set by Jiangnan Group. Due to too many applicants and insufficient production capacity, Jiangnan Group had to announce that only enterprises with a production scale of more than 100 million yuan can obtain the corresponding application in the first place. For authorization and parts supply, other companies or individuals need to wait three months before opening applications.

As a result, it became even more prosperous three months later. There were many companies with only one person, or even no companies, who applied for technology authorization purely in their personal capacity and came over, expressing that they wanted to build terminals.

Moreover, the identities of these people are different. There are extracurricular teachers who teach English, auto workers, and even some cartoonists.

But at this time, Jiangnan Group already has a complete set of systems and regulations, so no matter who applies, as long as it does not violate a few basic principles, it can almost obtain all technical authorizations within three days.

Throughout 2010, more than 5 companies or individuals finally applied for authorization from the Jiangnan Group for the authorization of the Universe Terminal. As for the investigation initiated by Ou Meng, although it was not over, there was no sound. You haven't even set up an investigation team. After all, 5 people have been authorized. What else are you investigating?
As for why there are so many companies or individuals joining the terminal industry, the main part of them is purely to join in the fun, or make some noise to raise the stock price, and does not plan to actually produce terminals. In fact, enterprises or individuals really want to enter the terminal industry, launch their own terminal brands, and then reap huge benefits.

Historically, around 2012 was the craziest period for the development of global smartphones. In that year, more than 3000 smartphone brands emerged in China alone.

The more famous Xiaomi mobile phones, Hammer mobile phones, Nut mobile phones, etc., almost all appeared during that period. This period is also known as the period of barbaric growth of smartphones, and it is also the period of the fastest development of the entire mobile phone industry. It was the golden age of the entire industry.

So why such a golden age in 2012?
The answer lies in China. After Apple launched the smartphone, because no one has played with it, no other manufacturers except Apple can produce qualified smartphones in the market.

Even if the Android system was released later, it was a bit commendable to say that Android at that time was a pile of garbage. At that time, only manufacturers such as HTC and Samsung with a considerable accumulation of mobile phone technology could optimize the Android system and launch it at the same time. own smartphone.

And around 2012, after 4 years of development, the Android system at this time has entered a relatively mature period, and the system is stable enough.

More importantly, at that time, Huaxia almost owned the entire industry chain of smartphones.Because whether it is Apple, Samsung or HTC, they can only design mobile phones, and the final production still has to fall on the heads of various foundry companies around the world.

At that time, Foxconn was the most powerful foundry company in the electronics industry in the world, and almost all of Foxconn's processing plants were located in the mainland.

But in fact, it is impossible for Foxconn to cover all the steps of the entire mobile phone production process by itself. They also need to import semi-finished products from other companies for reprocessing.

As a result, a large electronic product processing chain has formed around Foxconn, but whether it is Foxconn or Apple, because they hold absolute orders, they can keep the unit price extremely low, and the processing companies make money very painfully.

Pushing people into a hurry, everyone thought, since they have mastered the production technology of these parts, why not produce a batch of parts under the name of their own brand and sell them to the outside world?

In the end, almost all OEMs sold the parts they could produce. By 2012, all the parts needed for a smartphone could be purchased domestically.

Enterprises only need to go to MediaTek, or communicate, or some other chip manufacturers to order mobile phone chips, and then purchase a circle of mobile phone parts in China, and then design a mobile phone appearance according to Apple, a smart phone brand of their own. born.

You can call it a hammer phone, or a mop phone, as long as you call it a happy phone.

In that era, you only needed 100 million yuan to open up the entire industry chain, create a mobile phone brand of your own, and then sell it on the Internet.The next thing is the marketing level.

At the same time, because of the high price of Apple and the poor user experience of the Android camp as a whole, the entire smartphone field can be said to be a blue ocean.As long as you have the ability to market, you can create a world for yourself, which is why there was such a crazy smartphone growth period around 2012.

In this world, a situation like 2012 would have been very difficult, because the Cosmos terminal has absolutely dominated the entire market, regardless of price or technology, it is irresistible, and other terminal manufacturers have almost no room for survival. , Even if it is as strong as Apple and Google, it can only use some off-the-market tricks to leverage the market.

But who would have imagined that the Jiangnan Group would suddenly let go of the entire market, giving up the mid-end and low-end end markets, and also opening up the entire industrial chain to the entire market, all at once with its own strength? The strength created the prosperity of the entire 2012.

Similarly, in 2009, because of the crazy growth of the terminal market and the market exceeding US$3 billion a year, all businessmen realized the unlimited possibilities of this market in the future.

Whoever can take advantage of Jiangnan Group's stupid time to rise will become the next trillion-scale super enterprise, so no matter what they have or not, they will all come in and get involved, even more than in the previous lifetime.

Of course, there is another extremely important reason, which is because Jiangnan Group has reduced the difficulty of manufacturing terminals to an unbelievable level.

In another world in 2012, for example, if an English teacher wanted to make a mobile phone, he first had to hire a knowledgeable person as a vice president to lead the entire mobile phone manufacturing process.

After all, the English teacher himself definitely doesn't know how to make a mobile phone, and a professional person is needed to take charge of the command.

Then they need to contact one mobile phone parts dealer after another, or contact the manufacturer directly, and place an order with them to buy all the parts they need.

But this can only buy most of the parts, and some of the most important parts, such as chips, memory, etc., have to communicate with those big manufacturers, go to schedule with them, and fight like dogs for a little bit chip share.

After all the hard work to get the hardware done, you still need a system development team to change the name of the public version of the Android system, add some additional functions, and finally become your own system.

Someone said, why do I have to change the public version of the Android system, can't I use it directly?
Of course, many mobile phone manufacturers have done the same in history, but the public version of the Android system is developed by Android on a general-purpose machine, but the parts sources of their own mobile phones are different, and these parts have different performances. The Android system is definitely unable to fully mobilize these performances, and sometimes even causes the entire phone to crash.

So at this time, professional system engineers are needed to adjust the system a little bit, and transform the system to adapt to the corresponding parts. Otherwise, what you hand over to the user is a brick that can turn into a brick anytime and anywhere.

All in all, it is also very difficult and troublesome to make mobile phones in the golden age.Even for Xiaomi back then, it took about a year of tossing among manufacturers before launching the first Xiaomi mobile phone.

However, the Jiangnan Group has reduced this difficulty by an unknown number of times, or directly reduced Mount Everest to the level of a small earth bag.

Because in June 2010, Jiangnan Group and China Electronics Technology Industry Alliance launched the first customized terminal procurement network.

This platform puts all the terminal-related manufacturer data under the China Electronics Technology Industry Development Alliance, as well as the relevant parts they can provide, directly into its own database.

And any enterprise that has obtained the terminal authorization of Jiangnan Group can log in to this website and view all the product data in it.

If this is the case, it is definitely not enough. The key is that this website also provides the function of virtual installation.

This function can completely guide the manufacturing and assembly process of a whole terminal, even if the user is a novice who knows nothing about the terminal, he only needs to follow the virtual installation function and choose the various parts needed by his terminal step by step , and finally a complete virtual terminal can be assembled directly.

And in this process, this program will also automatically carry out the investigation of parts matching, which can automatically exclude those parts that cannot be connected with each other, and at the same time automatically recommend the best product according to the combined effect of these parts Match it out.

In a word, as long as you have your hands, you will do.

Finally, because all parts are produced under the technical standards of Jiangnan Group, and the system development department of Jiangnan Group will continue to fine-tune various new parts, and then launch different versions of the system.

So in the end, when all the parts are combined, Jiangnan Group can automatically match a usable pentad system... If the match cannot be successful, you only need to pay a certain fee, and the software engineers of Tianyu can take the initiative to help You modify the system so that it can be loaded into the terminal you built yourself.

The only thing that may need to be designed by the user in the whole process is the appearance of this terminal.
