Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 395: Winning the Gamble of the Century, the Tianyu Series Returns to the Historical Stage

"I didn't see it wrong, 4299 yuan? It didn't even break 5000 yuan? Mr. Chen, you didn't make only 100 yuan again, did you?"

“极客X1是3799，拥有7纳米华夏芯片加持的极客X2居然是4299，只涨了500块钱，研发成本真的能够收得回来吗？”

"Please raise the price, Mr. Chen! We are worried that you will make too little money and may go bankrupt one day. How will we, the game geeks, survive then?"

"The price of 4299 yuan is stuck in the 4000-5000 yuan price range, neither higher nor lower. Currently, there are only two mobile phones in this price range, one is the 4800 yuan iPhone 10 equipped with the A8 neural engine bionic chip, and the other is the 4999 yuan Korean Galaxy S10 equipped with a 835nm Snapdragon 6 chip. Mr. Chen seems to be attacking Apple and the Korean Star Group."

“For this early access to 90fps, all I can say is, King of Glory, start!”

When the price of Geek X2 was announced, potential buyers across the Internet were shocked because they had not expected this price.

You should know that the Huaxia chip can perform 3 trillion operations per second, far exceeding the 10 trillion operations of Apple's A1.3 neural engine bionic chip. For a chip of this level, it is not excessive to give it a premium of 1000 yuan, right?

However, no one expected that the price of Geek X2 would only increase by 500 yuan!
The 500 yuan upgrade was used to upgrade the X-series OLED screen of Jingdongfang, the latest set of connection accessories developed by Luxshare Precision, as well as the camera module, motherboard, storage chip, and most importantly, the processor chip.

There was constant cheering at the press conference, and users were all filled with surprise.

In stark contrast were Ku Ke and Lee Jae-yong, both of whom had tense faces and eyes full of solemnity and fear.

Chen Xing's pricing has a very clear intention. He wants to use the extreme price and ultra-high performance to seize users and further digest the basic base of competitors.

why would you say so?

Very simple.

A large number of users, such as live broadcasters, actually buy the devices because they are attracted by the performance and smoothness of Apple and Korean star phones.

Currently, 99% of the King of Glory anchors are using iPhone 8. Chen Xing has studied it carefully and found that the 60 frame rate of Apple phones is completely different from the 60 frame rate of Android phones. The former has much better picture quality.

It was precisely because of this realization that he specifically approached Pony Ma to discuss opening up a higher frame rate for Geek X2 to narrow the gap in gaming experience between mobile phone users.

Now seeing the reactions of users on site, he knows that he made the right bet.

The most popular mobile game in 2015 was Honor of Kings. As long as it can satisfy its game users, it can absorb a large number of game developers and at the same time hit the user base of its competitors.

“Countermeasures must be taken.”

Ku Ke thought to himself.

On the other side, Li Jae-yong was so nervous that his heart was in his throat. He found that of the three "world-class" achievements announced overseas by Longxing Group, two of them had already been achieved.

In terms of lithium battery capacity and fast charging technology, Longxing Group is undoubtedly far ahead.

The Chinese chip technology has beaten them to a pulp, and the chip research and development direction of Longxing Group has taught a lesson to scientific researchers all over the world.

Conquering nano-processing?

It is better to conquer the stacking technology!
The third world-class product is the optical shooting module, commonly known as the mobile phone camera, which is the foundation of Korean star mobile phones that have always been far ahead and have established themselves in the European and American markets.

Li Jae-yong held his breath silently, waiting for Chen Xing to speak.

However, Chen Xing on the stage didn't notice him at all. Instead, he looked at Ku Ke and asked with a smile, "The price of the new Geek X2 has also been announced. I almost forgot one thing. President Ku Ke, you still owe me one dollar. When do you think you can pay?"

The moment he finished speaking, the audience all looked towards the front row, and the camera in the live broadcast room was also aimed at Ku Ke.

"hateful."

Ku Ke gritted his teeth.

He was now in a difficult situation. He thought Chen Xing would not bother with him, after all, the bet was only one dollar.

In the past, the businessmen from Longguo that he dealt with always "leave a way out for others and forgive others when you can", so why are they so aggressive towards Chen Xing and insist on making him lose face?
Ku Ke's face instantly fell. After hesitating for a while, he stood up, took out the dollar he had just put back in his pocket and walked onto the stage.

The bet of the century has been lost. If he doesn't fulfill his promise, Ku Ke is afraid that the media will publicize that he is not trustworthy, which would be a bit not worth it.

For prominent people, face is more important than money.

When you have no money, you need to lose face to make money. When you are rich and famous, you need to spend money to maintain your face. This is the difference between people of different classes.

If a poor person is more concerned about face, he probably won't earn much money, or save much money, because all the money is used to maintain appearances.

Similarly, if the wealthy elites do not spend money to package themselves, once their dirty deeds are exposed, what may await them is public abuse and difficulties in business.

As Kuk handed over the US dollars, reporters at the press conference also turned on the shutter mode, wanting to capture the moment of the banknotes being handed over.

"Thank you."

Chen Xing took the banknote.

"Kakaka-"

The flashing lights lasted for a few seconds. Ku Ke nodded slightly without saying anything, then returned to his front seat with a gloomy face.

Chen Xing held a US dollar and praised Ku Ke, saying, "I believe you have seen that I have successfully obtained Ku Ke's one dollar. The century bet can also be perfectly concluded at this moment. At the same time, I also want to praise Ku Ke for keeping his word and give you a thumbs up."

"Pfft-"

The audience couldn't hold back their excitement, and applause and laughter mixed together.

In the front row, Lei Jun couldn't help but jokingly said, "When it comes to insulting others, I feel like we should all learn from Chen Xing. It seems like he's praising someone, but in fact, he's dragging him out to lash out at his corpse again."

"Hahaha, this kid really holds a grudge."

Ren Guofei agreed with a smile.

"If he didn't hold a grudge, he wouldn't be himself. But this is the attitude that human beings should have," Zhou Hongwei continued.

"Yes."

Luo Hao also nodded and continued, "How does that saying go? Repay evil with kindness. What's the second half of it?"

"How can I repay a kindness?"

Rebus completed it for him.

"Right, right, right. Repay evil with kindness. How can you repay kindness?" Luo Hao nodded quickly and continued, "If someone stands on your head and shits, and you still say it's okay, then everyone will think you are easy to bully. This is an ancient saying."

While the domestic league bosses were discussing privately, Ku Ke's face became increasingly grim. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat. He was uneasy all over.

He had the courage to admit that he lost in front of the whole world, but he would also lose face.

Seeing that the press conference was in chaos, Chen Xing did not act aggressively. He suppressed Ku Ke just to make him restrain himself and make his attitude clear to the forces behind him.

"All right."

Chen Xing pressed his hand.

The audience and the domestic league bosses who saw the gesture shut their mouths and refocused their eyes on the podium.

"I've seen the Longxing series and the Geek series, so next, I'm going to announce a new series flagship."

"???"

"???"

The voice just fell.

The live broadcast room was filled with question mark comments.

The audience who came to the press conference could not help but cheer. They became very alert and started talking again.

"Holy crap! The third flagship!"

"One press conference, three flagship phones, is Mr. Chen trying to empty our wallets in all directions?"

"Follow me and shout, take pictures of the flagship!"

“Photography flagship!!!”

“Photography flagship!!!”

“Photography flagship!!!”

The words "photography flagship" continued to spread around, and in just a moment, everyone at the press conference was shouting "photography flagship".

This also reflects the market users' demand for domestic high-definition camera flagships.

At present, in the field of optical photography, Sony, Canon, Hanxing and Carl Zeiss are the four dominant companies, and some of these companies have been around for more than a century. It is really harder than climbing to the sky to surpass them.

“It can’t be true, right?” Li Jae-yong looked nervous, and his anus subconsciously clenched.

If Longxing Group launches a new flagship camera in a niche market, then Korean star phones will face the same pressure from Longxing Group's two new flagships as Apple phones.

The two CEOs of Sony and Canon Group were both very alert. Unconsciously, they held their breath and their heartbeats began to accelerate.

"Really?"

Luo Hao looked at Lei Bushi.

Lei Bushi looked at Ren Guofei and asked the same question: "Is it true?"

Xiao Ma Ge, Wang Fu, Zhou Hongwei and other local enterprise CEOs all looked at Ren Guofei, their eyes seemed to ask: "Is it true?"

They all knew that Longxing Group and Kunpeng Company were close, and their headquarters were even just one street apart. The probability that Ren Guofei knew the inside story was much greater than theirs.

Looking at the focused eyes around him, Ren Guofei shook his head and said, "Maybe, I'm not sure."

The field of optics is so important. It is not just a matter of mobile phone photography technology, but also involves many extended areas.

For example, face recognition, portrait tracking, three-dimensional imaging, etc., all of them are inseparable from technical support in the field of optics.

Optics is equivalent to eyes. After installing eyes on a machine, its operating space is greatly improved.

However, this field has been monopolized for too long. It’s not that Longguo is being strangled, but that it has not made any plans at all. After a century of accumulation, Longguo companies are somewhat at a loss as to where to start.

As Ren Guofei finished speaking, Chen Xing raised his voice by twice as much, put away the smile on his face, and solemnly announced:
"Longxing Group is a company that focuses on user experience and technological innovation. We are well aware that users are the foundation of our business. User needs are also the direction and motivation for our progress. So I announce that the Tianyu series, which focuses on the field of optical photography..." "It's here!!!"

The moment he said the three words "It's coming", Chen Xing pressed the remote control in his hand, and the PPT page switched instantly.

The LED screen showed the appearance of the Tianyu series, with its slim body, smooth body lines, and four eye-catching cameras on the back of the phone.

"I rely on!!!"

"Is Tianyu really a sub-series???"

"The camera phone is finally here. Mr. Chen's mobile phone business is now fully developed. I just don't know how much this phone will cost."

"Mr. Chen is awesome, he always responds to requests!"

"What a beautiful appearance, the corners are curved, and most importantly, the body feels so thin, it's very fashionable!"

The audience's cheers and shouts of excitement were matched by Lee Jae-yong's disbelief and horrified looks.

There really is a camera phone...

Korean star mobile phones can overwhelm Apple phones in the European and American markets. What core technology do they rely on?
No need to think, it’s the OLED screen and shooting module!
Because of their love of outdoor sports and enthusiasm for recording their lives, Europeans need devices that can record their lives rather than exaggerated mobile phone performance.

It is precisely because of the different customs and habits that their demands for mobile phones are also different, which has led to Korean star mobile phones with brighter OLED screens and clearer photos suppressing sales in Apple's stronghold, that is, the European and American markets.

No matter how popular Apple phones are around the world, the European and American markets are still dominated by Korean star phones. But now, the "two brothers" are facing the same competitor, that is, the Longxing Group led by Chen Xing.

Sony Group CEO Hirai Jiro also looked solemn, stroking his mustache and said in a deep voice: "Without a century of accumulation, can Dragon Country's enterprises really conquer the field of optics?"

He doesn't believe it.

Canon Group CEO Yoshioka Ryouta, who came with him, also expressed his opinion at this time: "It may be a bluff."

To conquer the field of optics is no less difficult than to conquer chips.

Moreover, their annual R&D costs are as high as tens of billions of US dollars. It is impossible for Longxing Group to invest so much money in R&D. They now have two answers in their minds.

1. Chen Xing is bluffing.

2. Someone provided technical support.

Just as the two were guessing, Chen Xing pressed the remote control again, switched to the PPT page and introduced: "Please allow me to systematically introduce the third world-class product tonight. That is the stacked CMOS sensor that we developed using a lot of advanced technology."

"Stacked CMOS sensor?"

"Stacked CMOS sensor?"

Li Jae-yong, Hirai Jiro, and Yoshioka Ryouta all subconsciously repeated Chen Xing's words, and the shock in their eyes became more and more intense.

Stacked CMOS sensor, this is a research and development direction that was just announced not long ago. They have just invested manpower and material resources. Could it be that Longxing Group has already conquered it?

Chen Xing glanced at them from the podium. The reactions of these optical executives were very much in line with his expectations. He continued, "Perhaps many users do not know what CMOS sensors are, nor do they know what leading technologies stacked CMOS sensors have. Tonight, I will give you a systematic introduction. You can just listen casually."

Not only did his final humility not make the audience and on-site bosses look down on Chen Xing, but instead they all listened attentively, not daring to miss any details.

"First, let's talk about what a CMOS sensor is."

"Its full name is complementary metal oxide semiconductor sensor, which is a semiconductor device used for image capture. It is a key component in modern digital cameras and many other imaging devices. It works by converting light into electric charges and then converting these charges into voltages to generate digital signals. These signals are processed and finally displayed as images."

"So what is a stacked CMOS sensor and what are its advantages?"

While Chen Xing was asking and answering himself, he pressed the LED screen remote control in his hand to turn the picture to the next page.

The PPT page displays countless technical bubbles, surrounding the camera module in the center like stars surrounding the moon.

Double stacking technology

《Multi-layer stacking technology》

《HDR High Dynamic Range Technology》

《PDAF phase detection autofocus》

《Through Silicon Via Technology》

The moment the stacking technology bubble appeared, the scene was boiling again, and the barrage in the live broadcast room also began to surge.

"Stacking again! Could it be that the ultimate direction of the semiconductor field is not nano-processing, but stacking technology?"

"Semiconductors! Strictly speaking, a CMOS sensor is just a chip. This is why the United States continues to suppress our semiconductor chips."

"All methods are based on the same principle. With the efficient application of stacking technology, we may really be far ahead of the world this time!"

As comments continued to appear in the live broadcast room, the cheers from the audience became louder and louder. No one had expected that the "Multiple Stacking Technology" could be extended to the field of optical shooting.

Chen Xing did not interrupt their cheers, but gave them time to vent.

It was only after in-depth research that he realized that the semiconductor field was stuck, and that it was not just the chips that were affected, but also the CMOS sensors of special chips.

This also explains why the West is so afraid of China's conquest of semiconductor chips, as it is involved in too many things.

After the sound subsided slightly, Chen Xing continued to explain: "Compared with traditional CMOS sensors, stacked CMOS sensors separate the pixel layer and the circuit layer and connect them vertically through silicon via technology."

"This double-layer or multi-layer structure will efficiently convert the captured light into electrical signals and transmit them to the signal processing circuit on the bottom substrate. Unlike traditional CMOS sensors, this design has a shorter electrical signal transmission distance, faster response speed and lower energy consumption."

“Since the stacked CMOS sensor adopts a layered design, the pixel part, circuit part and cache part can be optimized independently, and the performance is naturally significantly improved. The stacked design will make the size of the entire CMOS module more compact, which is conducive to achieving higher pixel density in a limited space, thereby achieving higher image quality.”

"Okay, now that we've talked about stacked CMOS sensors, let's talk about microlenses." Chen Xing changed his tone, his demeanor was calm, his words were confident, he didn't sound like a layman at all, but more like a senior academician in the fields of semiconductors and optics.

Li Jae-yong, who was sitting in the audience, was stunned. He stared blankly at Chen Xing's calm and professional explanation on the podium, and a bold idea popped up in his mind.

"Isn't Chen Xing a scientific research engineer?"

He was not the only one who had such an idea. Sony Group's Hirai Jiro, Canon Group's Yoshioka Ryouta, Carl Zeiss Group's representative, and even the royal chaebols who came to watch the show were all stunned. Chen Xing's professionalism was so strong that they thought Chen Xing actually had two professions.

On the surface, he is the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar group, but secretly he may be a scientific research engineer.

Princess Charlotte of the British royal family looked around to see if there was a teleprompter or something. With this level of professional knowledge, it would be difficult for Chen Xing to speak so smoothly and calmly without a teleprompter. She also wondered if Chen Xing had another identity that had not been exposed.

Ren Guofei, Lei Jun, Duan Yongping and other CEOs of the domestic alliance all swallowed their saliva and looked at Chen Xing in surprise.

No one's success is accidental. To write down such a large amount of content without a teleprompter requires a lot of effort, which the CEOs present thought they could not do.

Having talent is not scary. The scariest thing is that people have talent and also work hard. Such people are destined to make a name for themselves.

Chen Xing didn’t have the ability to read minds, so he didn’t know what the CEOs in the audience were thinking. He interpreted their surprised looks as “praise” for Longxing Group’s breakthrough in the field of optics.

"After talking about stacked CMOS sensors and Longxing microlenses, let's talk about PDAF phase detection autofocus."

He did not stop and continued to talk about the highlights of his own camera module.

"PDAF phase detection autofocus integrates phase detection pixels on the sensor to improve focusing speed and accuracy. To put it simply, the focusing function is faster and more accurate."

"correct."

“We also have a built-in efficient image processor that can process images during shooting, such as noise reduction, sharpening and color correction, to reduce the burden of subsequent processing and increase processing speed.”

After talking about the innovative technology, Chen Xing suddenly changed the subject and continued, "It is also a combination of numerous technologies. Our Longxing Group's first CMOS sensor is called Sky Eye, model TY-001, and its pixel is..."

After a half-second pause, he pressed the remote and announced, "2000 million!"

"Wow—"

The audience couldn't hold it anymore.

“2000 million pixels?”

"This...what else can I say? The iPhone 8 has a 1200-megapixel Sony IMX315, the Korean Galaxy S6 has a self-developed 1400-megapixel camera module, and Mr. Chen's Tianyu series has a 2000-megapixel camera. This is so far ahead!"

"Awesome! So far ahead!"

The words "far ahead" gradually began to spread, and the audience at the press conference all cheered. The deafening sound of "far ahead" hit everyone's eardrums, causing them pain.

The comments in the live broadcast room also changed from a screen full of question marks to a screen full of "far ahead". No one expected that Chen Xing would have another big hit, and a big hit that crushed his peers.

On the other hand, Lee Jae-yong in the first row was visibly panicked, and kept muttering, "Impossible..."

"impossible…"

"Longxing Group was still in a financial crisis in 2014. How could it be possible that it developed a 2000-megapixel camera module in just two years? This is absolutely impossible!"

His voice of doubt was too small and was instantly "covered by the far-ahead", so that only he could hear it.

On the other side, Jiro Hirai and Ryouta Yoshioka also couldn't believe it. The mobile phone camera module had achieved 2000 million pixels. How did Longxing Group do it?
Just as they were stunned, Chen Xing pressed the remote control again.

next second.

The promotional slogan for the Tianyu series appears.

Don’t let inferior lenses ruin your beauty

"Be more confident, you can shine like a star"

Tianyu X1

"???"

"???"

Seeing the slogan on the LED screen, Ku Ke and Li Jae-yong almost couldn't help laughing. Isn't this the slogan they used when they belittled Longxing X2 and Longxing A1?

What do you mean?
What do you mean, Chen Xing?
Just copy and paste the face, right? ? ?
