I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 568 441-442: Mate Product Launch (Part 4000)! ( words)
Although straight glass is a very inconspicuous product in a mobile phone, it is the most visible object in the phone.

SOC chip, you can feel it, but you can't touch it.

You only touch the mobile phone battery after it becomes a hand warmer.

There are thousands of parts in a mobile phone, and you probably have never even heard of them before they are thrown into the trash can.

But the touch screen is different. If it is a touch screen that cannot be broken, then the practical feeling will definitely be raised to a higher level!
Who would still use a mobile phone screen protector that doesn’t work once you put it on?

"Everyone has a very high demand for the toughness and durability of mobile phones."

"However, many friendly companies spend their money on purchasing chips, and as for other components, they think it's OK if they can benchmark against other friendly companies."

At this point, the people in the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Gao Huaijun is so funny.

Generally speaking, the current mobile phone market is in an absolute red ocean competition state.

Therefore, every mobile phone manufacturer has extremely high requirements for product cost control.

Because leading manufacturers like Qualcomm charge very high prices for their flagship chips, and even the profit from a chip is much higher than that from a mobile phone.

This has also led to the strange phenomenon that several mobile phone manufacturers in China are working for chip manufacturers.

Gao Huaijun's joke was also a hint to everyone here, look at how I play it, and learn from me!

Aren't you going to plagiarize?
Come on, come on, and see if you can learn it!

"This phone is inspired by Hillhouse's car body. The entire structure uses the industry's first high-gloss titanium basalt body, which is as drop-resistant and wear-resistant as a car body."

"Today, we have increased the drop resistance of this phone by four times, and its wear resistance by ten times!"

As soon as Gao Huaijun finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a Yankee baseball cap was quietly looking at the audience in surprise, chewing gum with an expressionless face.

He is actually Kuko, the head of Pingguo Company!
He actually came to Shanghai quietly to listen to Gao Huaijun's product launch conference.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to Hillhouse, his old rival.

Hillhouse's suicide was not without reason, and it naturally entered Xida's death sight. It was naturally inseparable from the lobbying and undercurrents of companies such as Pingguo, Qualcomm, and Volt. In the open competition, they have gradually become no match for Hillhouse, and naturally a large amount of interests have been affected.

Not to mention the competition in future fields such as artificial intelligence and embodied robots.

Now the engineering resources at Xi’an University are scarce, and the cost is much higher than that at East China University. Seeing that the pursuit is becoming more and more desperate, it is natural for them to make some small moves.

But now it seems...

He wanted to see how Hillhouse designed the Peacefruit iPhone with the same product strength in the key aspects!
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the stage like a hawk, totally different from his usual calmness in front of the media.

Gao Huaijun seemed to sense the hostility in his eyes.

But I don't mind.

There are so many people sitting in the audience, and many of them are hostile to Hillhouse, so many people can't even get on stage.

It's just jealousy!
So he calmed himself down and continued, "Our shell is made of a rare titanium metal process. We used a high temperature of 520 degrees and a high pressure of 120MPa to obtain a strong fit between atoms. The high pressure of 120MPa is equivalent to 1.2 meters of sea water, which is equivalent to the ultra-high pressure at the deepest part of the Mariana Trench. At this location, even a submarine made of ultra-high-density metal several meters deep will be slightly deformed!"

"From this we can see how tough our products are!"

“At the same time, we also used ultra-durable cotton fibers in the composite material of the shell, which increases the durability and impact resistance of the entire machine by five times!”

"Let me show off a little here. In universities, biochemistry, environmental science and materials science are known as the four major pitfalls. But at Gaoling, we have more than a hundred PhDs in materials science!"

"They were gathered together and a special Gaoling High-tech Composite Materials Research Institute was established in Xicheng, which is a department specializing in the research of various high-strength composite materials."

"Fortunately, we spent several years developing this high-brightness titanium basalt structure."

"From this, we can also see our strength!"

Gao Huaijun smiled and pretended to be cool.

Many reporters present applauded excitedly.

Looking around the world, the rise of emerging industries including new generation information technology, new energy, semiconductors, biomedicine, aerospace, etc. is all led by breakthroughs in the field of materials.

The rise of every industrial power relies on the support of a strong materials industry.

Why are biochemical and environmental materials called the four major tiankengs? One very important reason is that the threshold for this thing is too high!

Take materials science for example. If you want to do this well, you have to conduct exhaustive experiments continuously.

There are almost no shortcuts to doing well in materials science.

Although Hillhouse's artificial intelligence can now help material laboratories screen out some infeasible directions, for feasible directions, they still need to conduct boring experiments one after another and then compare the results.

What is the most important thing about exhaustive experiment?
It's money!

It's money!!
It's money!!!

If you don't have massive amounts of funding to supply these PhDs with advanced instruments, their theoretical work will be useless.

On the surface, Hillhouse seems to have only developed a high-brightness titanium basalt architecture, but the materials science knowledge involved behind it is not something that an ordinary team or a team without in-depth research and development in materials science can achieve!
It can be said that China’s top materials science laboratory is located at Hillhouse!

There is no other way. Hundreds of millions, or even billions of R&D funds are invested every year in this branch R&D institution that seems to have very low cost-performance ratio. It is impossible not to be high-end!
Not to mention China, even in Xi’an University, there are only a few research institutes like Hillhouse that have so many R&D doctorates!
What is R&D support?

Gao Huaijun's little show-off is simply a big show-off!
Some reporters off the field seemed to understand the meaning of what Gao Huaijun said, and they were writing down their own experiences and impressions, as if they were writing news content.

Gao Huaijun’s product launch conference was just awesome for them!
Any random word can become a hot topic.

If this hot spot is compared and studied with other parallel material research and development, it may even be possible to produce a very high-quality article.

On the development direction of basic materials disciplines in China.

"Now, let me tell you the second core advantage of my product..."

As he spoke, Gao Huaijun looked around and saw reporters all waiting excitedly.

The first Kunlun glass is already a good selling point. This alone can just support a small generation of products.

So, what is the second core advantage?

"Hillhouse is leading the way in satellite communication technology for mass-market smartphones. With this generation of products, we can make global satellite calls!" "Whether you are in the uninhabited area of ​​​​the Hoh Xil, the rarely visited Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, or Mount Everest, as long as there is a Beidou satellite passing by, you can make global satellite calls!"

Gao Huaijun came up with a groundbreaking function.

The reporters in the audience were all stunned.

What?

Satellite communication technology for smartphones?
Put it in your phone?
Are you kidding me?

I have no signal in the underground garage, or I am going to Guangxi to drill a cave and I particularly need this, or if there is an earthquake or flood, or even if I am trapped in the desert, my customers can use it to call for help.

It seems that less than one in ten thousand people can use this thing, which just increases costs and wastes phone space.

But when it was actually used, it really saved a life!

Even if this function is 100% wasted.

But who minds having an extra life as a backup?
Although they don’t know about this function and how much effort Hillhouse has put in, one can imagine how helpless one would be if one were in a place with no signal at all and one’s mobile phone was almost out of battery!
If I could make a life-saving call to the outside world and then send out my current coordinates, would there be hope if I could wait?

The technology developed by Hillhouse may seem flashy, but it always scratches the itch of ordinary people!

After a moment's silence, there was a continuous and long applause!

The reporters present were initially worried about Hillhouse's Mate 20.

Some of the haters even wanted to come in and watch from the sidelines, or even hoped to publish an article to mock the event after the press conference was over.

After all, with the development of smartphones to this point, there are not many technologies that are worthy of major manufacturers' special research and development.

But this time, after a year of suspension of supply of Mate mobile phones, Hillhouse Capital actually came up with a blockbuster product, which really surprised everyone.

When Gao Huaijun mentioned the black technology "smartphone satellite communication technology", they knew that even if the other functions of this mate 20 were the same as before, it would be safe and stable.

Not to mention others, many reporters present have been fans of Hillhouse for many years. Many of their mobile phones have been used for more than two years, and they will definitely try to replace them accordingly.

"Our smartphone satellite communication technology has made a great breakthrough in satellite communication technology."

"When you make a satellite phone call, you don't need a long antenna to connect to the outside world."

"Our communications experts and our radio frequency chips are the first to make breakthroughs in the industry."

"This phone can quickly connect to satellites in 9 seconds. Unlike the ultra-high latency of ordinary satellite phones, this product has an ultra-low latency of 0.7 seconds."

"Our Mate series has always been known for its good communication signals."

"We installed the industry's first intelligent multi-antenna on the back of this phone, which we call the Lingxi antenna!"

"Compared with the previous generation mate 13 mobile phone, the signal strength of such an antenna is improved by 3bB!"

"And 3bB is equivalent to doubling the improvement!"

"This phone will rely on 'smartphone satellite communication technology' and take communication radio frequency technology to a new level!"

At this point, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause again.

Many people below are using Pingguo’s iPhone. The characteristic of iPhone is that the signal is poor.

There is no way around it. This thing is an external RF baseband, which also results in its signal being generally unstable.

Whether in the basement, in the stairwell, or in some corner rooms, there is a high probability that there is no signal.

Now that Hillhouse has taken the lead in further cutting costs on RF chips, will this trigger an arms race among other manufacturers?
This has to make the reporters below look forward to it.

Kuco, the boss of Pingguo Company, looked unhappy in the stands.

Pingguo Company has conducted several rounds of "research" on the problem of poor signal.

They packaged this relevant problem and gave it to the Pingguo Research and Development Institute in India for corresponding research. However, although they said that it would be soon and there were corresponding results, he had not seen any results yet.

And now, Hillhouse's Mate series, which had been stagnant for a year, is taking off again, and has made another step forward in signal strength.

He suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable irritation.

"Far ahead!"

“We are so far ahead!!”

“So far ahead!!!”

Some spectators in the audience shouted.

"Thank you!" Gao Huaijun nodded with a smile.

But his expression showed calm acceptance.

There is no way, Hillhouse is just so awesome, what else can he do?

"At the same time, this phone has a further powerful integration with AI technology in the camera sector."

“In terms of AI video noise reduction, it has been improved by nearly 100%, making the picture purer and the texture more natural.”

“In terms of AI real-time HDR, it has been improved by 146%, giving the picture a higher dynamic range and a better degree of brightness and darkness.”

“In terms of the AI ​​color engine, it has been improved by 120%, making the colors more realistic and the pictures more lifelike.”

"This is a brand new AI film texture engine, and its video capabilities are greatly improved."

"It is safe to say that the photography quality of our Mate 20 mobile phone is close to that of professional cameras!"

Gao Huaijun said lightly.

The audience couldn't help but gasp.

They knew about the deep involvement of Hillhouse's artificial intelligence in Hillhouse vehicles and Hillhouse Technology, but they did not expect that the involvement would be so deep that the functions of the cameras would undergo a qualitative transformation.

Generally speaking, the mobile phone camera is the core capability of a smart camera.

However, it is extremely rare for an arms race to reach the level of Hillhouse!
