Homecoming of Rebirth

Five or six years?The day lilies are cold, and the market has been eaten up by Sanshi.

Third, even if you have the determination and the time, it doesn't matter.

You must at least have the strength of ARM, right?

However, Intel and AMD seem to be the only companies in this world that can compete with ARM in the field of chip design.

The above three points make the chip an insurmountable barrier.Without the support of high-performance chips, trying to catch up with Sanshi mate.1 is just empty talk.

But, as luck would have it, ARM is a British company!

Although under the control of Desheng, Paulson is still a businessman, and there is still room for discussion.

If ARM belongs to Qi Lei, it will be over.

So, it's only been a week, and the threshold of ARM will be leveled.

What Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry, Motorola, etc., even before Jobs developed his own Apple chip, he could only choose to negotiate with ARM to find a substitute.

It means that Microsoft has no way to find ARM, after all, it is still fighting with Wall Street!

In this regard, Paulson's attitude is somewhat ambiguous. Of course, ARM can monopolize the supply of chips for Sanshi's family alone, but the benefits are not maximized!

Besides, Paulson actually knew that there were many new technologies in Qi Lei's Modu laboratory, even if he didn't have the chip advantage, he could still guarantee his leadership in the mobile phone business.

However, Paulson couldn't say this clearly, and brought Warren to discuss with Qi Lei.

"Qi, I think it's okay to let Warren release a low-standard version of the chip and supply these chips to other manufacturers. In this way, we have both advantages and money!"

Qi Lei rolled his eyes at him, and said in his heart, you won't suffer!

He kept his head silent and waited for Paulson to perform by himself.

Of course, Paulson didn't want to offend this person, so he kept winking at Warren, meaning, I can't say it, but you can!You and Qi Lei have no interest, come on!

Warren, crack!Xin said, you still command me?That's my boss!

"Ahem." He cleared his throat, "Mr. Qi..."

"This matter..." Warren organized his words.

"I think this matter still needs careful discussion."

Warren A went up.

Ok?

Paulson's eyeballs haven't popped out, where are you?

Qi Lei also frowned and raised his head, he didn't expect Warren to say something beneficial to his side.

Rolling his eyes, he interrupted Warren, "There's no need to discuss it."

Um? !This time it was Warren's turn to freeze.

And Paulson frowned, he didn't understand what Qi Lei meant by saying no need to discuss, did he want to continue to monopolize the ARM chip?

But I never expected...

"Sell!"

Paulson, "..." thought he had heard wrong.

Qi Lei, "Not only do we want to sell it!" The corners of his mouth raised and he looked at Paulson, "I think you can also contact Bill to see if Microsoft uses ARM chips."

Paulson, "..."

At this moment, Qi Lei is like a little angel, so cute!

You know, the manufacturer Paulson most wants to sell to is Microsoft.

Three stones win, Lao Qin is busy laying out the domestic semiconductor industry, so what do you think Paulson should do?

He won the first confrontation between Wall Street and Silicon Valley, and of course he wanted to harvest, just as Bill wanted to harvest three stones before.

"Oh, Qi!" Paulson sighed, "What do you want me to say?"

Qi Lei rolled his eyes at him, "Are you happy now? Don't let outsiders convince me next time, you can tell me clearly."

Paulson smiled and concealed his inner embarrassment, "I'll ask Bill to have a chat."

"Come back!" Qi Lei called to stop him.

Paulson froze in place, rolled his eyes, "Oh, look at my memory."

"Qi, what do you want from it? Just mention it."

Since it is an interest, then those who see it will have a share.

Qi Lei smiled coldly and was not polite, "ARM has received such a large order volume, can TSMC's production be used?"

The current TSMC, even if there is an order for Sanshi, has not yet reached the scale of later generations, and it is not yet the number one in the world.

When Paulson heard this, he immediately expressed his opinion, "Don't worry, of course our priority is to ensure our chip supply!" He thought that Qi Lei was afraid of affecting the chip supply chain.

It's a pity that Qi Lei is not so easy to deal with, "It's a matter of course! I mean, TSMC's production capacity is not enough, so let the excess orders go to SMIC!"

After hearing this, Paulson raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Of course it's no problem!"

It turned out that Qi Lei wanted the benefits here!

And Qi Lei hadn't finished speaking yet, "Then you made money from ARM, shouldn't you share it with me?"

Means, ARM, do you have to give me a share?

"This..." Paulson didn't want to give it, and looked embarrassed, "Qi, you know that this is Desheng's business, not me. Besides, in name, Desheng does not have a share of ARM shares."

"Hmph!" Qi Lei said disdainfully, "Forget it! Then it should be fine if you help me get some TSMC shares?"

Paulson, "..." pondered.

Not without problems, the problem is very big.After all, it is a share of an international company, so you can come when you say it?No matter how domineering the United States is, it must use some means.

But he knew that if he had rejected Qi Lei once and prevented him from getting involved with ARM, then he could not refuse a second time.

Finally Paulson nodded, "No problem, I will find a way."

After Paulson left, Warren stayed on the grounds of discussing the direction of next-generation chip design with Sanshi.

When only Warren and Qi Lei were left, Warren finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Qi, I don't quite understand, why did you sell the chip to other people, and also to Microsoft?"

"Just to make China the center of high-end chip manufacturing?"

That benefit is obvious, and the only one Warren can see.

According to external sources, SMIC has just been able to manufacture 193nm chips, which is considered to have caught up with the average level.

However, you must know that ARM's 5500 chip is a 130-nanometer process.

Now, Qi Lei dumped the order to SMIC, what if SMIC does not have the production capacity?

It's very simple, if other manufacturers want to get chips, then you can help SMIC quickly acquire the production capacity of 130nm process!Just like when EUVLLC helped ASML develop the lithography machine, it is a reason.

And their speed must be faster, not later.

As a result, SMIC has become one of the few top companies in the world that can produce 130nm chips.

In addition, Qi Lei also took the shares of TSMC, and TSMC has left EUV LLC and is not controlled by the United States, so the final result is that the Chinese will firmly control the forefront of chip manufacturing.

This is certainly a good situation.

But from Warren's point of view, Qi Lei has to make sacrifices after all. If other companies have solved the obstacle of chips, what if it poses a substantial threat to Sanshi?

this is the key of the problem!

Now, the core of everyone is the Sanshi mobile phone.After so many years of dormancy, the mobile phone finally came out, and now it is just amazing. Before you completely control the market, you open the chip, which is very dangerous.

Warren couldn't figure it out.

Regarding this, Qi Lei just smiled lightly, and replied: "I can answer your question from two aspects."

"First!" After a pause, "Actually, including you, Sam, and many core members involved in the development of Sanshi's mobile phone, they are all confused up to now."

"Huh?" Warren raised his eyebrows. What the hell, you can say I'm not handsome, or you can say I'm not as talented or rich as you, but I'm stupid... It's a bit too hurtful!

You know, before Warren met Qi Lei, he was also an old coin who took one step to see three steps, and it was also a result of various coquettish manipulations.

"Speak clearly, what do you mean?"

Qi Lei laughed and said: "Don't be convinced! Do you think that the core of a smartphone is hardware, that is, intelligence?"

"The absolute core of a smartphone is software and ecology!"

Warren, "..."

Even more confused, ecology?

Sanshi really attaches great importance to ecology, but is it a bit too much to elevate ecology to the absolute core?

Of course Warren couldn't understand it, and in fact, many people in later generations couldn't understand it either.

However, a single sentence will suffice to explain it:

"WeChat and Apple, which one do you choose?"

……

Chapter 626 The bones are all black

Which one to choose between WeChat and Apple?

It's not even a multiple-choice question, because you can't make a judgment call according to your preferences.

No matter how much you hate Penguins, or how much you like Apple, it’s useless. What life would be like without WeChat is even unimaginable in China.

And this is the power of ecology.

The ecology of WeChat, a software, has penetrated so deeply, so do you think WeChat technology is difficult for Apple?Does Apple have the ability to recreate a communication software similar to WeChat?

Of course there is!However, it cannot transplant the people in WeChat into the new ecosystem.

In the same way, when HW was sanctioned and Google Maps and other software could not be used abroad, HW also immediately launched its own substitute, but it still had little effect.

Including the establishment of Hongmeng Ecology, it is also necessary to transplant Android apps in parallel, which is the reason.

And this is just one piece of software, or the impact of several pieces of software.

In fact, the mobile phone is just a platform. What really makes the mobile phone look smart is the mobile phone software that is closely related to our lives.

These are two completely different concepts from the previous traditional mobile phones in this era.

Before Sanshi appeared, mobile phones were just mobile phones.Whether you are a mobile phone that can only make calls, or a mobile phone with many functions such as taking pictures, listening to music, surfing the Internet, etc., it is based on the mobile phone.

But the Sanshi mobile phone is a concept brought by Qi Lei from later generations. The hardware is only auxiliary, and the real core competitiveness is ecology, which is the infinite possibility created by relying on the mobile phone platform.

In fact, Qi Lei performed to his heart's content on the stage of the press conference that was shocked as a celestial being, and that wasn't the point.

What configuration, what battery, processor, are all pretense.

The real core is actually only one sentence, a sentence that no one cares about, thinking it is a free product.

He said, “Sanshi spent huge sums of money to launch the Pangu OS developer program.”

No one noticed what the words meant.

Even Jobs, who is at the forefront, is still fighting with Qi Lei on hardware at this moment, without realizing the importance of ecology at all.

In fact, the experience that Qi Lei has gained, the concept that ecology is king, is also the experience summed up after several years of development of smart phones.

"Warren!" Qi Lei raised his three-stone mate.1, "After you are used to the software, operating system, and operating habits of mate.1, will you easily switch to other brands?"

Warren thought about it for a while, "Probably not, it would be very uncomfortable."

Qi Lei, "By the way, the key lies here!"

"Our ecology, software development, and system testing started three to four years ago. At that time, it could only be simulated in a computer environment, and there was no shadow of mobile phone hardware."

"As for them, they have not yet realized the importance of ecology, and even the mobile phone system including Apple has not yet been perfected."

"By the time they have summed up their experience and started to discover the ecology, we have already cultivated market habits. By then..."

Warren laughed, "Even if they catch up by then, they will still be followers!"

Qi Lei nodded, "This is the first point."
