Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1636 Synchronized Growth
On Sunday afternoon, Duan Yun called all the heads of several projects in the R&D center who were on vacation to the company conference room to arrange the research and development of the car GPS project in advance.

In fact, the project leaders of Tianyin Group have never had the concept of Zhou. They get an average high salary of tens of thousands of yuan per month. The company is their home, and the development direction of the company has become the development direction of their lives. .

Including Huang Lingyi, Jiang Mingwei, and Zhou Tao, the person in charge of Spark Software Studio, have all arrived in the meeting room.

In addition, Lermontov and Alexei, who are in charge of the Soviet microelectronics project working in the Science and Technology Park of Bao'an District, and Shi Yuzhu of the Giant Group, also attended the meeting.

Since the beginning of this year, Shi Yuzhu's giant company has developed rapidly. The new generation of giant Chinese card they developed has sold more than 60 copies in just a few months, relying on its extremely high cost performance and Tianyin Group's strong publicity and sales network. Including other editing software, the profit exceeded [-] million, such a result even surprised Duan Yun.

The hot sale of the Giant Hanka also proved Shi Yuzhu's extremely high technical level and business talent, but Shi Yuzhu was still grateful to Duan Yun, and took the initiative to give Duan Yun 3000 million yuan in profit dividends, and actively cooperated with Tianyin Group's new product projects The research and development of supporting software is also very diligent in work. I eat and live in my studio every day, almost all year round.

Being able to become a billionaire in just one year is an achievement that was unimaginable in the past. Without the strong sales and after-sales network of Tianyin Group, it is impossible for him to obtain the Chinese card so quickly. Success, but all this is just a starting point for Shi Yuzhu, he obviously has higher ambitions and goals.

Like Shi Yuzhu, Huawei and ZTE, two companies controlled by Duan Yun, have also grown rapidly in the past year. Both of them are mainly engaged in the communication industry. With some technologies and chips provided by Duan Yun, the sales volume of ZTE's answering phone Popular because of relatively low price, high reliability, and good sound quality, Hou Weigui sold more than 50 telephones in Hong Kong last year alone. As a telephone product produced in the mainland, it can sell such a high sales volume in Hong Kong. It is simply a miracle. In addition, the central company has also received some orders from the United States, Japan, and European and American countries. The total order is as high as 170 million units. These orders will also bring nearly [-] million yuan to CICC profits.

As for Huawei Group, in 1990, it independently developed and commercialized PBX technology for hotels and small businesses.

This year, Huawei developed and launched rural digital switching solutions. Their new generation of digital switches has completely broken the situation of 7 countries and 8 systems in China's communication field, occupying more than 30% of the China Express switch market. Forcing foreign communication suppliers to reduce equipment supply prices, the price has shrunk by nearly 20 times!
So far, Huawei's total profit this year has reached 1.5 million yuan. Ren Zhengfei founded Huawei in 1987. In just four years, he established this company as a leader in China's domestic communications industry.

In fact, Ren Zhengfei lost the bet that Duan Yun and Ren Zhengfei made at the beginning. Not only did he fail to develop the chip for the CNC switch within the specified time limit, but he also spent all the money. Without a sum of money, it is impossible for it to develop the PBS switch technology that allows itself and Huawei to turn around.

However, Duan Yun did not mention this matter. He still occupies 25% of Huawei's shares and has not asked for more shares. It is precisely because of this that Ren Zhengfei is also grateful to Duan Yun. Will try my best to solve it.

Compared with a few years ago, Huawei and ZTE, whose profits have exceeded [-] million yuan, already have enough financial resources to recruit and hire high-end technical personnel, and the salary level of senior technical personnel is also rapidly approaching Tianyin Group, but it is still up to There are no benefits for employees to allocate housing and send cars.

For this car GPS system, Duan Yun also arranged some research and development tasks for ZTE and Huawei.

A complete GPS car navigator is composed of 10 main parts: chip antenna processor, memory, display screen, speaker button expansion function slot, and electronic map navigation software.

And every component needs corresponding technology and suppliers. In fact, with the current strength of Tianyin Group, they are fully capable of developing and producing all car navigation components by themselves, but the cost is relatively high. It will affect the cost performance and competitiveness of the product, and it is not conducive to the large-scale popularization of the product. Therefore, Duanyun needs more manufacturers to participate in product research and development, share the research and development costs and risks, and can also minimize product costs.

However, the most core processor, memory and navigation software are the core technologies that Duan Yun must master. As for the other parts, more other professional manufacturers can participate in the research and development.

The world's first GPS receiver is the ln-1 used by Chrysler Motor Company. The core components of this receiver are Intel 700 microprocessor and tape drive.

Duan Yun intends to replace the 8088 chip with a self-produced chip, and use a new generation of flash memory chip as a storage drive, use a special code, combined with an electronic map, convert the address into latitude and longitude, and then the system supports self-correction to accurately locate the current vehicle This is the technical principle of the new generation of GPS that Duan Yun plans to develop.

What surprised Duan Yun was that two senior microelectronics experts from the Soviet Union had deep knowledge of GPS positioning technology. Among them, Lermontov from Belarus had participated in the weapon positioning system project of the Soviet Ministry of Defense before, although it was not the core R&D personnel, but they still have a good understanding of the related technologies of the positioning system, and have also mastered some core technologies.

However, the Soviet Union does not use GPS positioning. Their positioning system is called GLONASS, which is the abbreviation of "Global Navigation Satellite System" in Russian.The GLONASS satellite navigation system is similar to the US GPS.

The GLONASS project was launched by the Soviet Union in 1976. The GLONASS system will use 24 satellites to achieve global positioning services, which can provide high-precision three-dimensional space and speed information, as well as timing services.

Because of this, Duan Yun finally decided to let Lermontov be responsible for the research and development of the new car GPS system, and at the meeting, the two also discussed the specific details of the new system research and development.

Although the technicians in the Soviet Union have rich work experience, they often do not pay attention to the cost and cost performance of the product when they develop products. Duan Yun specifically put forward this requirement in this regard, asking them to take the cost of the product into consideration. After all, commercial products Unlike military products, if the cost is too high, it cannot be popularized on a large scale.
