Entertainment upstart

Chapter 339

"Well, I only considered the feasibility of the technical level and market demand, and did not consider the business strategy."

Zhao Xueyin nodded, admitting that she didn't think carefully, "What about the delay of 5G, with colleagues from my uncle's research institute, we can at least carry out preliminary research and development.

The investment in the research and development stage of communication technology is not large, mainly because the investment in the later stage and the market access stage after completion accounts for a large proportion. "

"I'm really not very clear about this, you can talk about it." Zhou Xia could only answer. After all, Zhao Xueyin has a Ph.D. in computer and information systems from Princeton, and is a true professional.

"It's like this. 4% to 5% of the investment in the development of 50G and 70G occurs in the initial stage of operation. Because more signal towers and base stations need to be built, more high-end equipment to be purchased, satellites to be rented, etc. Generally speaking, it is The construction of 'terminal + base station + core network + bearer network' is the most invested part, while the initial R&D investment is relatively small."

"Low R&D investment in the early stage? How much is that? Don't fool me." Zhou Xia looked at Zhao Xueyin in doubt.

It is true that he is a layman, but he has the knowledge of his previous life, and he also knows that the reason why Huawei leads the world in 5G is to invest heavily and invest early.

In his memory, in 2017 alone, Huawei’s investment in 5G research and development exceeded US$120 billion, ranking sixth in the world. It will continue to maintain high investment in the future, and plans to invest US$100-200 billion per year...

Although that is no longer the investment in the research and development stage, but considering the investment in research and development in the past few years, it must not be less!
Zhou Xia said that postponing 5G research and development is just evasion, and he never wanted to do 5G at all.

The main reason for this incident was Zhou Yuan's leadership, and he used this excuse to save face for his father.

Zhao Xueyin didn't notice what Zhou Xia meant, and thought about it for a while: "I can't estimate this, but it's much higher than the research and development of 4G. It will take seven to ten years, and the investment should be tens to hundreds of billions."

"Hehe." Zhou Xia had a funny expression on his face.

Seeing Zhou Xia's attitude, Zhao Xueyin had no choice but to continue: "If you think it's too much investment, we can cooperate with others and apply for subsidies from the state. Uncle should be able to help in this regard. Besides, it's not a one-time investment. There are very few investments every year in the early stage. , hundreds of millions, billions, and more later.”

"Tens of billions to hundreds of billions, now several hundred million or more than one billion a year? Zhao Xueyin, are you crazy? Where did we get so much money? Besides, communications engineering is related to national security. What are we private companies doing? Wei developed it two years ago, and we can't catch up at all, so I will never agree with you on 5G!"

Zhou Xia finally found an excuse and decisively denied it.

"We don't have any now, but in two or three years, or five or six years, when the companies of Bingyu Technology develop, what is hundreds of billions worth?" Zhao Xueyin said dissatisfied.

This is her field of expertise, and she really hopes to make something big!

"It's not as simple as you think. How can it be possible to make money in business? In case of loss, what will we do then? How capable we are, how big things we do, and we will be able to do it later, okay?"

Seeing that Zhao Xueyin couldn't be moved, Zhou Xia could only continue to use the dragging formula.

"Then how do I explain it to my uncle?"

"No, just tell the truth, we don't have that strength. If his colleagues are really capable, let them do it themselves. Let's invest tens of millions or something to help them start it. Is it okay for the head office?" Zhou Xia was heartbroken. Said.

"No responsibility, no guts, what will you use the money you earn in the future? Investing in real estate, building buildings? Or making movies, promoting female stars? Or building movie theaters, selling popcorn, and entertaining to death? You still have a little pursuit Are you worthy of your origin?"

Zhao Xueyin sneered, thinking that Zhou Xia had no higher pursuits, and was very dissatisfied.

"Zhao Xueyin, you—!" Zhou Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but finally held back and didn't refute anything.

He is a Ph.D. and a scientist. Don't think about engaging in these Internet technologies and pan-entertainment industries with him, but obviously he also has personal ideals and pursuits.

"What about me? If you have no reason to convince me, I'll tell my uncle and grandpa the truth. These businesses are all run by you. When the time comes, you can slowly explain to them that you want to be an entertainment tycoon!"

"I won't tell you this anymore, what about the entertainment tycoon? Can't I live happily? Besides, besides 5G, is there nothing else I can do? I also have big dreams, and I will scare you if I say it!"

"Okay, tell me, just scare me." Zhao Xueyin was unmoved, and looked at Zhou Xia suspiciously.

"Then listen carefully. I plan to set up a new project to carry out the research and development of the semiconductor industry, with the goal of developing the world's most high-end chips. Do you think this is a pursuit or a big event? Do you dare to continue? "

"Semiconductor industry? Develop the most cutting-edge chips?"

Zhao Xueyin's face changed, and she looked at Zhou Xia in surprise, "Are you sure? When did you come up with this idea? This matter is more difficult than developing 5G, and the investment will not be small!"

"It's been a long time ago! When I asked you to develop video terminals, I thought about buying low-end semiconductor companies first and developing related chips for our terminals. But considering the cost factor, I gave up. Now Bingyu The five technology projects have all been put into operation, and some have already made a profit, so it’s time to start doing this.”

"This project is good. If I give up 5G because of developing chips, I don't think my uncle will have anything to say." Zhao Xueyin smiled.

"Zhao Xueyin, are you still shameless? After all, you are a PhD in Princeton and a senior intellectual! How can you change your face so quickly?"

Zhou Xia was shocked by the change of this cousin.

"Hehe, whatever you think, I didn't come back to China to give up teaching at Tsinghua University. I didn't come to make money for you. I have my pursuit!" Zhao Xueyin's beautiful face was full of pride.

"Okay, you have ideals, you have pursuits, I hope you can make it happen and do it well! Next, let's make a plan. When we have capital, we will find suitable domestic and foreign semiconductor companies with high technology content for acquisition. Develop our mid-to-high-end chips and cultivate our high-end talents."

"Okay. In terms of chips, low-end and mid-range chips are relatively easy. High-end chips can't be completed in a short time. It is inevitable to use overseas technology and talents to develop our own. Otherwise, ten or 20 years Can’t catch up with companies like Qualcomm and Intel!”

"Well, don't worry, just make a five-year plan and implement it step by step."

"Ok."

"It's best to achieve some results in five years and catch up to the level of MediaTek in Wanwan. Although it is an era of globalization, if you don't master some core technologies, it is still easy for others to choke your neck."

"Five years to catch up with MediaTek, unless you can invest a lot of money, let me recruit people around the world and establish companies and R&D bases overseas."

"Okay, the profits of Bingyu Technology's several projects, except for the development needs of each company, other profits are invested in the company's long-term plan, is this the head office?"

"Well, it's pretty much the same. Don't think it's enough on Monday and Monday, even if you have an explanation. If you invest in this matter, you can at most not insult grandpa's reputation, you know?"

"I..., well, I understand, I will continue to work hard in the future!" Zhou Xia wanted to cry, but he couldn't refute.

The old man is an academician of the two academies, a leader in the domestic aviation industry, and many outstanding people in the "Western Institute of Technology" are his students. Now he is almost [-], accepting re-employment, and still working as a consultant in his original unit.

There was nothing wrong with Zhao Xueyin's words. Zhou Xia really did not dare to tarnish or spoil the old man's reputation.

This is also one of the reasons why he doesn't dare to shoot around and cause trouble on Weibo.

The two talked for a while, and it was already six o'clock in the evening. After the siblings had a meal outside, Zhou Xia asked the driver to drive him to Xiahua Chinese website.

Today is Friday.

At [-]:[-] p.m., Zhou Xia will participate in the online interview program 'Across the Stars' on Xiahua Chinese Website, interacting with book friends on the website.

Before that, Yaya, Sisi, Little Fox, Tangtang, King Kaikai, Dou Xiao and others had all been here.

This show is a bit dirty, after all, there are thousands of water friends and Duan friends, and all kinds of jokes and stalks fly in every now and then.

If one is not connected well, it is a joke.

But if it is done well, it will be loved by many netizens if it shows the down-to-earth, humorous, clever and playful personality of a star, gaining a lot of tap water, and increasing its popularity a lot.

　Second more.
