1991 Starting from the core

Professor Zheng did not stay in Xi Xiaoding's office for long. After all, he was new here and he was the leader of the hospital. He had a lot of things waiting for him. After chatting for an hour, he went to another meeting with wind on his feet.

"What do you think of Lao Zheng?"

After seeing off Professor Zheng, Su Yuanshan asked Xi Xiaoding.

"I'm not a macromoleculer, how do I know?"

"...I'm talking about administrative matters."

"Then I don't see anything." Xi Xiaoding chuckled: "But overall, I feel that as long as you match his frequency, you should be more comfortable getting along with him."

Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile: "Uncle Li will continue to work for a few more years anyway, so there is plenty of time to look at it."

Xi Xiaoding also nodded in agreement. Then, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why do I feel that the two of us...oh no, you feel like the big bad guy behind the scenes?"

"...How could I? I'm worried about the Electrical Engineering Department!" Su Yuanshan categorically denied: "This is the alma mater where I grew up. If someone else comes to pick peaches and mess around...then I might as well be the one. .”

"Yes, I support it." Xi Xiaoding looked at him with a smile.

"...I'm just talking."

The two shook their heads and smiled at the same time.

Yes, regardless of Su Yuanshan's ability or reputation, as long as he wants, he can become the president of any university in the country. But everyone knows that he doesn't have the energy.

For Yuanxin, although Yuanxin has not followed the trend like other companies and always talk about slogans such as "Now is a critical period for enterprise XXX", everyone knows that after experiencing the past fourteen years, After rapid development, Yuanxin has also reached a critical period of destiny.

In the past ten years, Yuanxin can be said to have been leading the development of the domestic and even the entire world's technology industry, and has delivered a satisfactory answer to the world.

More than one media outlet and one critic compared Yuanxin to IBM in the middle of the last century - the great blue giant.

As we all know, Big Blue is like that now...

With the rapid development of the global economy and information revolution, all people of insight in the field of science and technology are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the next technological explosion - although at present, the specific definition of the fourth industrial revolution still exists. Disagreement.

In this case, if Yuanxin can maintain its leading advantage and make contributions that are consistent with its status when the next industrial revolution comes, it will be the next answer sheet to be handed over.

Moreover, this is only from the perspective of Yuanxin's own development and direction.

It hasn’t been said yet... Is anyone really willing to see Yuanxin become the IBM of the 21st century so smoothly? Even dull politicians can judge that this technology revolution, with semiconductors and the Internet as the main force, will The outbreak has gradually moved from Silicon Valley to the East.

There will be people who won’t give in.

//(I really can’t write it. I block it as soon as I write it, and I block it as soon as I write it. I’m really annoyed to death. I always say I’ll only write about business wars, but after writing to this level, there’s still a shitty business war to write about. 2020 The Internet business thinking of 20 years ago was a crushing and dimensionality-reducing attack, similar to the kind of aliens attacking primitive people...it can only write about national games...but it violates the rules as soon as it is written, and it violates the rules as soon as it is written. , so annoying.)

Not to mention, he is still in the golden age of scientific research and can produce one or two top journals every year.

Don’t underestimate the papers issued by Su Yuanshan’s laboratory. It almost represents the highest international influence in the field of domestic scientific research. It is also a major boost to the internationalization of electronic science and technology.

Letting Su Yuanshan be the principal and deal with administration and school development... This is indeed a waste of resources.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. When the time comes, we will take a step at a time." Su Yuanshan stood up and glanced at his watch: "I'm going to Zhongshan Road for a walk. Do you want to go back by the way?"

"Then go ahead. I have a meeting soon. School has started and there are so many things to do."

"Okay, I'll take the first step."

Zhongshan Road is actually a main branch road of Science and Technology New City - it is located opposite the old east gate of Yuanxin Science and Technology Park. Among the local population, Science and Technology New City is either called a development zone, a technology park, or a software park, but it is not called a software park. People call it Science and Technology New City. In the new science and technology town, several large science and technology squares are also habitually replaced by the original old road names.

The car came all the way along Entrepreneurship Avenue. When passing by the gate of Yuanxin, Fu Zhenhua slowed down and waited until Yuanxin employees crossed the road before turning the steering wheel and turning into Zhongshan Road. Then, the car drove into the Science and Technology Plaza.

Countless skyscrapers have already been erected around Science and Technology Plaza. On the top floor of almost every building is a huge billboard... These billboards are either company logos or company names, and each of them is loud and clear.

Such as EM, such as ESO, such as Microsoft, such as Amazon, such as Newbook, such as Kingsoft, Midstream International, Giant Network, etc...

Just by looking at these names, you can tell how much influence this place has on the Internet.

The car stopped at the foot of the Giant Building.

Five minutes later, Su Yuanshan appeared in Shi Dazhu's office.

…

"Brother Zhu, when do you want to make an appointment for the brothers from the Thatched Cottage Club to get together?"

Sitting in Shi Dazhu's office, Su Yuanshan held a tea cup and said with a genuine smile.

"Okay." Shi Dazhu agreed: "Are you discussing going to India?"

"Hmm... that's right." Su Yuanshan took a sip of tea, turned on the phone on the table, and looked at the time: "Where do you usually eat at noon? I'll have lunch with you."

"Usually it's the canteen, but how can you eat in the canteen when you're here..." Shi Dazhu said with a smile, "I'll call the hotel right away."

"Don't bother, you know I hate this."

"No, if you come to my place and eat in the cafeteria with me... then I won't be sprayed to death with saliva."

"... Then call two dishes and put them in your office. I'm too lazy to leave."

In the end, Shi Dazhu couldn't defeat Su Yuanshan, so he called his secretary and said that Mr. Shan would have lunch here and asked her to make arrangements.

After putting down the phone, Shi Dazhu looked at Su Yuanshan with burning eyes.

——He invited Su Yuanshan over this time——In other words, according to the relationship between the two people, there is no one who goes to whom, only who is free and who is more convenient. Obviously, it was more convenient for Su Yuanshan today, so Su Yuanshan came over.

As for inviting Su Yuanshan to come over and talk, it was naturally about talking on the mobile phone.

"Yuanxin will definitely not launch cheap mobile phones. This is the principle." Su Yuanshan's expression became serious and he said seriously: "We will lower the price range to more than 3,000 yuan at most."

"Well, I understand. After all, Yuanxin mobile phones have always been high-end."

"Yes, it is easier to make money at the high end." Su Yuanshan did not shy away from it.

Shi Dazhu smiled bitterly: "We worked hard to sell hundreds of millions of units, but the profit of a single unit is only one-tenth of Yuanxin..."

"Haha, actually that's not the point." Su Yuanshan looked at the other party with a smile: "Brother Zhu, you know."

"Yeah... after being in the mid- to low-end range for a long time, it's hard to get up."

"Yes, but you can test the waters with a concept phone... And to put it bluntly, our YOS application platform market is so big now. Even if it relies entirely on sales and platform sharing, your income will still be very large. Not bad.”

"Having said that, I'm always a little jealous."

"Haha, come on then." Su Yuanshan laughed and continued: "As for the cheap integrated chips, we have no intention of getting involved."

Su Yuanshan said seriously: "You know, MediaTek has been developing silently for so many years. Finally, it has accumulated a lot of experience and won a large number of low-end markets. It also accumulated a lot of low-power technology. And although my senior brother Qin Weimin brought YX The architecture is independent... But after all, in a sense, we are still one. So we also have to take into account the specific situation of MediaTek... You can't just jump in when you see something popular, right?"

This sentence is undoubtedly Su Yuanshan telling Shi Dazhu that Yuanxin has no idea of ​​getting involved in low-end chips, and tells him to cooperate with MediaTek honestly and stop thinking about other things.

Shi Dazhu nodded, then looked eager: "Then...where is your Phoenix?"

"Well...Phoenix, the door is open."

——Whether it is a mobile phone, a notebook, or an iPad, Yuanxin has always used public chips designed by the two studios of Suzaku and Kirin under the YX architecture. These two series have always been completely open to the market.

In the past few years, Yuanxin has relied on its understanding of product and technology development trends. Even if it uses a "public version" design, it can still lead the market and secure its high-end position - in other words, even if the hardware is exactly the same , Yuanxin’s mobile phone is just 1,800 yuan more expensive than others.

But after Apple launched its mobile phone, everything changed.

As Apple launches mobile phones adapted to IOS with its magically modified A-series processors based on the YX architecture, Yuanxin's Vidoo mobile phone is no longer the absolute king in terms of intuitive performance for the first time...

To put it bluntly, if we continue to rely on the "public version" designs of Suzaku and Kirin, Yuanxin will only be surpassed by Apple - at least in terms of performance.

So a week after Apple released its product last year, Yuanxin established two studios. One is the Vidoo operating system laboratory based on YOS, focusing on special and targeted optimization of YOS. The laboratory is internally Called VOS Labs.

The other one is Phoenix Laboratory. Like VOS Lab, Phoenix Lab also "magically modified" Kirin's public version design to make it more suitable for Vidoo mobile phones and iPads.

Now that one year is almost over, the first Phoenix chip will be tape-out soon - the reason why it is so fast is of course because Yuanxin "cheated" and directly transferred manpower from Kirin.

"But Brother Zhu, the current cost of Phoenix chips is relatively high, whether it is product cost or other risk costs." Su Yuanshan looked at Shi Dazhu: "Even Sony is considering whether to use it immediately."

"It's okay, just like you said, we can work on a concept machine." Shi Dazhu breathed a sigh of relief and looked determined.

When he first decided to make mobile phones, Shi Dazhu positioned himself to fill the market left by Yuanxin and develop rapidly by relying on volume and rapid expansion.

Now that eight years have passed, he has keenly discovered that if he continues to be stuck in the middle and low-end, surviving... is certainly no problem. But an indisputable fact is that a market that relies on volume expansion will one day expand to its limit.

Until then, what to do?

And... after all, people always have something to pursue.

Therefore, he will actively seek a brand breakthrough.

Seeing that Shi Dazhu had made up his mind, Su Yuanshan nodded.

Yuanxin and Apple are taking completely different paths. Everything is based on openness, so it will not be too self-conscious, and it is not worried about losing market share to partners such as Giant, Sony, and Xinghai.

To put it bluntly, according to Yuanxin's current "tax collection" in the YOS App Store, it can support a large number of people beautifully - and this is just the beginning. The app store that monopolizes all platforms has not yet truly demonstrated its power.

…

Not long after, the food was delivered personally by the waiter downstairs.

While eating, Su Yuanshan chatted with Shi Dazhu about business.

"For India, we mainly focus on their talents and market."

Su Yuanshan put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "So setting up a service company is the most suitable for our current specific situation. As for talents, I actually suggest bringing in outstanding Indian employees."

"Well, there are actually many Indian employees here in the development zone, but they are not comparable to Silicon Valley." Shi Dazhu said with a smile: "The language barrier is indeed a big problem."

"Yes." Su Yuanshan shook his head and sighed: "Even if eso has already launched a translation system, judging from the multi-language post forums, various languages ​​​​have still formed their own circles involuntarily...even if there are occasional visitors. , the communication is a bit like talking between a chicken and a duck, which is really awkward.”

"When you put it this way, I feel that the lack of Internet technology in India has really wasted such good resources and population..."

"Isn't that right? When I went to Bangalore this time, there were actually quite a few knowledgeable people there. They all hoped to take this opportunity to ride on our train to achieve a comeback on the mobile Internet... This point, In fact, we can take advantage of it.”

As Su Yuanshan said this, he thought of the trolls in India in later generations...

It has to be said that on the international Internet, this group of trolls is indeed very powerful.

Thinking that it would be September 2005 soon...and thinking of all the surrounding commotion when the free trade agreement was signed last year, Su Yuanshan felt uneasy.

This year, the war in Iraq is almost decided, and it is time for the United States to focus its attention and energy on East Asia.

Su Yuanshan knew that Lao Mei had many tricks, but he didn't know which ones to use.

——Last year’s recruitment resulted in the opening up of the domestic communications market and banking industry. The Asia United Communications Company established by AT\u0026T, Xinghai and Datang has now been officially put into operation.

What about this year? What about next year? What about the year after next?

Will it be enough to open up one or two fields?

(May those who survive rest in peace.)
