Our Rise Era

Chapter 227 Wheat 3
Spring March.

The grass grows and the orioles fly.

Zhang Yang woke up from his sleep.

Feeling that the sunlight was a bit dazzling, he blocked it with his hand.

Since he came into this world in 07, this diligent man felt a little lazy for the first time.

It was as if all the nerves that had been tense relaxed at this moment.

My body is very tired, as if I have run several thousand meters and am exhausted. I lie in bed and don’t want to do anything...

But his mind felt unprecedentedly relaxed. From 07 to 12, for more than five years, he had never slept so well.

He lay on the bed, just staring blankly at the ceiling.

Time passed little by little.

From eight in the morning until half past eight, nine o'clock...

……

It was around ten o'clock in the morning when Zhang Yang put on his clothes, walked silently to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

The self in the mirror still looks so gentle and elegant...

He looked back at the messy bed and the hint of red.

After a smile appeared on his face, he gradually calmed down and thought about every next step.

A career is a career.

Love is love.

Family love is family love...

……

They should be separated and not affect each other.

...............................

"The situation is not good. iPhone 4S pre-orders have exceeded 410 million units!"

"The popularity of the IOS system in China has gradually begun to catch up with us..."

"..."

[Android Open Source Alliance] is for the service of Google's Android system.

The initial strategic direction is clear.

That is to use Google's resources, with mobile phones as the core, and divide them into three levels: high, medium and low, to carry out a new round of reshuffle of the entire global market.

[Samsung] is the highest priority tier among mobile phone brands, and its positioning is also very simple, focusing on mid-to-high-end mobile phones.

After all, before the iPhone appeared, Samsung was the best-selling smartphone in the Chinese market and even in the global market, second only to Novia...

The second tier is overseas brands such as LG, Sony, and HC, which focus on the sales of mid-range brands...

……

The third tier is Chinese local mobile phone brands such as [Shengxing] and [Xiaomi], which are mainly mid-to-low-end.

……

No one could have imagined that from February to mid-March, Samsung would be so overwhelmed by the iPhone 4S in the high-end mobile phone market!

What's even more surprising is that although LG, Sony and other mobile phones have maintained their position in the mid-range market, Novia mobile phones are still strong. These brands can't break through Novia's two major systems, Symbian and Microsoft. Its sales are not bad, but it is not as strong as expected...

After the release of the second generation of Android phones from Shengxing, which mainly sells mid- and low-end phones, the sales have been mediocre and there have not been many surprises.

The highly anticipated [Xiaomi 3] mobile phone has been silent for two years. It was supposed to be released this month, but Zhang Yang, the original owner...

Perhaps it is because Samsung mobile phones have a high priority, and they have internally cooperated with Qualcomm and other software vendors to force the release of Wheat 3 to be postponed by two configurations.

Zhang Yang almost never comes to the Android Open Developer Alliance, not even to meetings.

3 month 15 day.

Watching iPhone 4S dominate the sales of high-end mobile phones, no Android phone can resist it.

Seeing that the Novia mobile phone had lost the high-end market but was still popular in the mid- and low-end markets, Qiaotek realized that if he didn't do something...

Then the penetration rate of [Android system] in China may be in jeopardy.

He called Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang finally answered.

...........................

early morning.

The sun covers the land.

"[Wheat 3] was delayed for two years. Do you think it is appropriate to release the configuration from two years ago now?"

Qiao Taike saw Zhang Yang.

At this time, Zhang Yang was sitting opposite him with a calm expression on his face.

He seems to have matured a lot...

Or maybe, at this moment, Zhang Yang no longer has any disguise.

“Although it has been delayed for two years, all of your [Shenglan Technology]’s monocrystalline silicon fields have been used in the chips of our alliance. In this system, we should serve the [Android] system. To get something, you always have to sacrifice something…” Qiao Taik stared at Zhang Yang, but there was no smile on his face.

"I sacrificed two years... Two years, do you know how I got through it?" Zhang Yang stood up, made a cup of tea for himself, and drank it silently: "The sales of [Xiaomi 2] exceeded million, which should have been the best time for a brand to rise, but unfortunately, it had to make way for [Samsung] and was not allowed to compete on the same stage with [Samsung] with the same configuration. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, they would rather give the market to others than to us..."

"I said that something has to be sacrificed... [Wheat 2] has caused great damage to the brand influence of [Samsung I750]. [Samsung] made this suggestion, which, to use your Chinese idiom, means that it is understandable..." Qiao Taik looked at Zhang Yang.

"So, if you want me to sacrifice, I will sacrifice. If you want me to come out, I will come out?" Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and sneered.

"..."

Qiao Taike didn't hesitate any longer. Instead, he stared at Zhang Yang and said, "Tell me your conditions!"

"I want the same configuration as Apple!" Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes: "I want the same configuration as Apple, to compete with the iPhone 4S!"

"The 4S has an A5 processor, we don't have that..."

"But Qualcomm has Qualcomm 4S, if I'm not mistaken, Qualcomm 4S?"

"..."

Zhang Yang stared at Qiao Taike closely.

When Qiao Taike heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Qualcomm 4S processor is a processor that will be available in the second half of this year. Even the [Samsung I790] does not have this processor..."

"Samsung doesn't have it, so why can't we have it on Wheat 3?"

"..."

Zhang Yang's words made Qiao Taike's face turn cold: "I can give you the S3. I can use the same purchase price as Samsung. If you sell one, you will make a lot of profit..."

"Mr. Qiao Taike, I now have tens of billions of RMB. Tens of billions of RMB is nothing big to you, but for me, I have passed the era of financial distress. In other words, I now control the entire photovoltaic industry. Although there is no European and American market, my annual profit will still not be less. It makes no difference whether I make a mobile phone brand or not... If I make [Wheat 3], I hope to build a brand, a brand mobile phone that can be on par with iPhone and Samsung... instead of picking up garbage!" Zhang Yang took another sip of tea, then sneered.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, we can kick you out of the Android Open Developer Alliance at any time..." Qiao Taike's voice was already very cold.

"Oh, Mr. Chotech, I hope you can understand one thing. Microsoft has been looking for me to cooperate recently, and even promised me that it would give me a chip processor that is no less than Apple's A5..."

“[Microsoft] doesn’t!”

"You can bet they don't have it, but I can also bet he does!" Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, and then looked at Qiao Taike with the same coldness: "In fact, when I came to you today, I had already made plans to terminate the contract. There are more than 1000 million mobile phone users in Africa. With just one word from me, they can be converted into Microsoft users at any time! Moreover, in Africa, I can sell 2011 million in 1000, and I can sell 2000 million this year!"

"Are you threatening me?" Qiao Taike stared at Zhang Yang.

"I never threaten anyone. The Android system is very important to you, but to me, any system doesn't matter. When your first batch of [Android Open Alliance] was established, I still sold my [Xiaomi 2]. You can acquire the [WEB OS] system, why don't you acquire the [Microsoft] system and show me?" Zhang Yang didn't care at all when facing Qiao Taik's eyes!

“…” Qiao Taik turned his head and looked at the computer on the table.

The office suddenly fell silent.

Only the sound of tea boiling in the teapot could be heard.

Zhang Yang continued to make and drink the tea by himself, and did not make even a single cup for Qiao Taike.

"We can give you the Qualcomm S4 processor, but the price is not the internal purchase price... But I promise that we will not stop supplying..." Qiaotek finally said this.

"Sure!" Zhang Yang nodded when he heard this: "Our [Wheat 3] profit can be low, but the configuration cannot be low!"

"Any other questions?" Qiao Taike stared at Zhang Yang.

"Also, there is smart voice. I don't know if Android's smart voice has been released yet!"

"It came out, but..."

"But what?"

"The company plans to install it on mobile phones in 2013, and for the time being, it will be on high-end models... We will give it to you after the second batch of Samsung high-end models are installed..."

"We can't take it down?"

"..."

Chotech shook his head.

..........................................

night.

Deep.

【Wheat Technology】.

Chen You, who was in charge of the processor connection, silently took over the [S4] processor, studied it for a while, and then sighed.

"Mr. Zhang... With our current technology... we are far behind... We cannot design such a processor..."

Zhang Yang nodded, then looked at Ding Ziqiang. Ding Ziqiang stared at the processor for a moment and shook his head: "No!"

"With our current strength, what type of chips can we design?" Zhang Yang stared at Ding Ziqiang and Chen You and asked.

"S1..."

“Three levels behind Qualcomm?”

"Mr. Zhang, our design is one thing. After the processor is designed, it still needs to be processed by the factory. The processing of chip processors involves many links. We can design a processor similar to S1, but we can't make it. At present, except for [Taiji Electric], there is no other factory in China that can take on this work..."

"Where's Shengxing?"

"Shengxing Factory..." Ding Ziqiang was silent for a while, and finally smiled bitterly: "I went to Shengxing to investigate some time ago. Mr. Zhang, if I say that Shengxing's current level can only help process the MTK system, do you believe it?"

"The system from five years ago?" Zhang Yang was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes... Breakthroughs in the field of processors and chips are no easier than those in the field of monocrystalline silicon. In fact, they are more difficult. Let's put it this way. In the field of monocrystalline silicon, we need to break through ten technologies. However, if our factory wants to make S1 chips, from chip design to processors, we need to break through at least more than 100 technical blockades..."

"..."

When Zhang Yang heard this, he immediately closed his eyes.

After seeing Zhang Yang's expression, Ding Ziqiang finally seemed to realize something: "Mr. Zhang, I have a guess, I don't know if it's right..."

"you say……"

"After we finish [Xiaomi 3], should we withdraw from [Android Open Source Alliance]?"

"..."

Zhang Yang was silent for a long time when he heard this.

Then he faced several shocked people.

He did not answer directly, but sighed: "In one year, at least, we need to have the design and production capabilities of the S1 processor..."

"..."
