Chapter 1089 It's So Interesting
Huateng Industrial Group and Qinchuan Machinery Factory are two, one is Lang Youqing, the other is Concubine Interested, one is Dry Firewood, and the other is Agni Fire, so after only two days of communication, the two parties have reached a preliminary agreement on the next stage. Cooperation Framework Agreement:

First, in view of Huateng Industrial Group's previous outstanding performance, Shaanxi Province, Bingzong and Xifei agreed to continue to entrust Qinchuan Machinery Factory with Huateng Industrial Group. Five years is a trusteeship cycle. As long as Huateng Industrial Group achieves the development goals issued by the shareholders of Qinchuan Machinery Factory, it will automatically obtain the custody right for the next custody cycle, unless Huateng Group voluntarily gives up;

Second, during the trusteeship period, the products of Qinchuan Machinery Factory are mainly provided by Huateng Industrial Group and Zhang Qihang;
Third, in view of the fact that both parties agree to deepen cooperation, and in line with the principle of fairness and benefit to both parties, the previous principle of benefit distribution is adjusted: First, in order to thank Huateng Industrial Group for its help to Qinchuan Machinery Factory in recent years, now There are distribution clauses to continue to be implemented for 5 years, and a new distribution system will be implemented after five years. The new distribution system is based on the principle of taking into account the interests of the trustee, that is, Huateng Industrial Group and the shareholders of Qinchuan Machinery Factory;

Fourth, in order to deepen the cooperation between the two parties, the existing shareholders of Qinchuan Machinery Factory: Shaanxi Province, Bingzong and Xifei agreed to allocate a proportion of their respective shares to Huateng Industry Group. As for Huateng Industry The specific shareholding ratio of the group will be discussed later, but in principle it will not exceed 30%.In addition, both parties agree in principle to cross-shareholding. As for the legal entity and proportion of cross-shareholding, the two parties can communicate in the next negotiation;
Fifth, next, Huateng Industrial Group will increase and deepen its technical support for Qinchuan Machinery Factory;
Sixth, as a thank you to Huateng Industrial Group, Shaanxi Province, Bingzong and Xifei will provide necessary support to Huateng Industrial Group at a higher level...

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

Although this is only a framework, and the specific content of the agreement still needs to be negotiated by the two parties, everyone is very happy that such a framework agreement with cross-shareholding between the two parties can be reached in such a short period of time. It is a simple relationship between the trustee and the trustee, but a real partner and a community of interests. This is especially important for Shaanxi Province and Xifei——Huateng Industrial Group is really good at making money. If Huateng Industrial can get The guidance of the group is extremely important to the entire Shaanxi Province and Xifei.

And when the negotiation was completed, Zhang Qihang also "just happened" to complete the preliminary design of the first compact sedan to be sent to Qinchuan Machinery Factory, and gave the renderings.

At the first moment when they saw the renderings, the comrades of the Shaanxi Provincial Visiting Group had only one thought in their hearts: it’s so beautiful, it’s worthy of being Zhang Qihang!
"It's so beautiful." Looking at the rendering in front of him, Gong Heping also couldn't hide his love, and asked Zhang Qihang in disbelief: "Mr. Zhang, is this design really for us?"

Can it not be beautiful? Today in 2005, when countless car fans were still amazed by the design of the Peugeot 307, Zhang Qihang directly moved out the domestically produced sedan version of the Peugeot 2012 that was launched in 308.

When it comes to the design of cars, the French are indeed very thoughtful, and they can come up with eye-catching and experienced designs every time. This is the case with the Peugeot 307, and the replacement products of the 307: the same is true for the Peugeot 308, and the 2012 Peugeot 308 When it went on the market, this car immediately conquered the Chinese people with its beautiful and dynamic appearance.

What's even more rare is that on the Peugeot 308, the French learned the experience and lessons of the 307. Not only did they take the sedan into consideration during the initial design, but the interior space was also specially optimized. Compared with the Peugeot 307, the 308 In terms of the horizontal width, overall width and height of the car, it was not inferior to the strongest competitor in the domestic compact family car market at that time: Volkswagen Sagitar.

Unfortunately, the Peugeot 308 still has not competed with the Sagitar.

The reason is also simple. When the Germans started to play with turbocharging and dual-clutch, and tried their best to promote the "TDI+DSG golden power combination", the French were still clinging to their old 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter automatics. The suction engine and the AL4 four-speed gearbox known as the "glass box" - in the perception of car fans, the AT gearbox is the most durable among all automatic gearboxes, and the AT box Among them, 4AT is the durable one. Whether it is Aisin 4AT or JATCO 4AT, it is very durable. But can you believe that the French broke the myth of 4AT "durable leather" and marked 307, 308 The durability of the AL4 and 4AT installed on other models is not as good as that of dry dual-clutch and CVT?

The result is a car with such excellent design, space, and interior, and it finally fell into the hands-the French's hard head that doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, you can't do it without admiration.

But having said that, the power combination of the 2012 Peugeot 308 is not good, but if you use the power combination of Huateng Industrial Group, it will be no problem at all.

Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile and said: "I took it all out, if you want to take it back, Lao Gong, would you be happy?"

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Gong Heping immediately felt relieved. He purposely laughed a few times and said, "Hey...then I'm definitely not happy..."

"This is for you guys," Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "Actually, in terms of the car's body size and wheelbase, the real positioning of this car should be A+ class, but there is no way, the brand of our Qinchuan Machinery Factory If you want to compete with so many competitors, I think you can only take the route of 'cost performance' and use a 'compact +' product to compete with those 'compact' products."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Qihang was embarrassed, but the other comrades in the visiting group nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Zhang Qihang did was right. Everyone has seen it just now. The length of this car is 4.55 meters, the width is 1.8 meters, and the wheelbase is 2.61 meters, both body size and wheelbase are similar to the current Sylphy of Huateng Group, but what is the positioning of Sylphy?
An entry-level B-segment car.

So to put it bluntly, it is okay to say that this car is an entry-level mid-level car.

But now, Zhang Qihang gave himself an entry-level mid-level car and asked Qinchuan Automobile to compete with competitors for the market. It can be said that he has considered all aspects, which is really interesting.

Gong Heping naturally thought of this, so he responded repeatedly: "I know, I understand, although our Qinchuan Machinery Factory has become a little famous in recent years, but after all, the background is not good. After all, the brand is not as good as those joint venture brands, not as good as ours. Huateng Group is tough, if you want to open up the market and gain a firm foothold in the market, you can only do this, we understand."

Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "It's good that everyone can understand."

------------

The comrades in Shaanxi Province returned with the framework agreement and Zhang Qihang's renderings. With this framework agreement and renderings, everyone was full of confidence in the future of Qinchuan Machinery Factory.

On the other hand, Old Wang remained silent, which surprised Zhang Qihang: Does Old Wang have a deep mind?

However, in the face of Lao Wang's euphemistic statement from a distance, Zhang Qihang also understands very well: Meilu Automobile belongs to Lao Wang, and he can adopt whatever development ideas he wants to adopt, even if his family's conditions are limited. , but the child who can be tossed out is also my own child, dear.

At the same time, Huateng Industrial Group has also started a model upgrade plan, preparing to seize more market share in the future. After all, the reason why everyone supports Zhang Qihang to give such good products to Heibao Motor and Qinchuan Machinery The factory is because Zhang Qihang kept the best for himself, and it is precisely because of Zhang Qihang's product upgrade plan that everyone can support Zhang Qihang so unreservedly.

It was also at this time that news came that made Zhang Qihang and Mr. Feng very excited: Huateng IC Design and R&D Center's first RF chip has completed all testing and certification work, and is ready for mass production!

The radio frequency chip project for mobile phones placed Zhang Qihang and even Huateng Industrial Group with too many expectations in the field of electronic information. After receiving this news, Zhang Qihang and Mr. Feng immediately put down their work and went straight to Huateng Industrial Group in Beijing to design and develop integrated circuits center.

When I met Academician Ni in the Huateng Integrated Circuit Design and R&D Center, although the initial excitement had passed, Mr. Ni was still very excited. He pulled Zhang Qihang and Feng Guoqing inside and introduced him to them Regarding the situation: "Didn't we entrust a 4V foundry company to tape out a small batch of chips before? In order to ensure the quality, we conducted random inspections of up to 20% of the first batch of RF chips for trial production. The results were very good. All random inspections The quality of RF chips meets the requirements, and the foundry quality of chips from 4V companies is still very good..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Ni sighed slightly, and said with some regret: "Unfortunately, the gap between our chip production and 4V is too big."

This topic was a bit heavy, and Zhang Qihang and Mr. Feng were speechless for a while.

If there are achievements in the field of chip design in China at this stage, then in the field of chip manufacturing and EDA, it cannot be said to be blank, but the market share can be described as "minimal", which also leads to the fact that although those 4V The chip foundry companies all have their nostrils turned upside down, but you still have to beg others - there is no way, although the attitude of the 4V chip foundry companies is very bad, but their foundry prices are already the cheapest, the most important thing What's more, people are willing to do OEM for you.

"Okay, let's not talk about this," Zhang Qihang waved his hand, and asked Mr. Ni: "Old Ni, what do our partners think of this chip?"

Previously, after knowing that Huateng Industrial Group and Spreadtrum had jointly developed mobile phone baseband chips and radio frequency chips, domestic mobile phone manufacturers who had been suffering from the monopoly of mobile phone baseband chips and radio frequency chips by foreign communication giants took the initiative to come to the door. ,Seek cooperation.

After the first tape-out, Huateng Industrial Group and Spreadtrum provided these cooperative enterprises with a batch of RF chips and baseband chips for their testing and adjustment of their own products to ensure that these two chips can be used However, there is still a slight gap between small batch trial production and large-scale mass production. Zhang Qihang is very curious about the evaluation of Huateng Group's mass-produced RF chips.

When talking about this matter, Mr. Ni couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "It's good, everything is good, everyone is very satisfied with our chips..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Ni looked at Zhang Qihang and said seriously: "Xiao Zhang, you said before that the future of mobile phones will inevitably develop in the direction of intelligence. I agree with your point of view, and I think we have to start early In this regard, the layout, do you think we can talk to ARM?"

If we say that in the past few years, everyone still has a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of smart phones, then in recent years, with the release and large-scale application of the ARM 2002 processor in 11, smart phone technology has developed to a considerable level. The high level of Microsoft's Windows mobile smartphone operating system and the large-scale application of the "Symbian" S90 operating system, as well as the emergence of corresponding supporting software and games, have made people see the bright dawn of smart phones.

At the same time, with the rapid development of mobile phone camera technology, storage technology, and chip technology, some mobile phones such as Dopod can already realize various rich applications such as file processing, taking pictures, listening to songs, playing games, and networking. Let people be full of confidence in the future of smart phones, and the reason why smart phones have not been widely promoted and applied is that neither Microsoft's Windows Mobile system nor Symbian system is easy to use, especially the damn Saipan, how many people have been dismissed because of a "certificate"?

It can be said that at this moment, all the basic conditions for smartphones are basically in place. What everyone lacks now is a sufficiently good smartphone operating system.

But there is no doubt that people in all industries no longer doubt the future of smartphones and are full of confidence. As far as Mr. Ni is concerned, when he realizes the future and prospects of smartphones, combined with his confidence in Huateng Group in the chip field, he can't sit still...

Hearing Mr. Ni's words, Zhang Qihang laughed: "Mr. Ni, are you eyeing the smartphone?"

"It seems that you have thought about this problem before." Hearing this, Mr. Ni breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with relief on his face: "That's right, from your perspective, you can notice the future and prospects of smartphones. Not surprising."

Zhang Qihang nodded and replied: "Smartphones are the future. I think it's good to accumulate some technology and practice skills for the smartphone era in advance, but old man, you can't just focus on smartphones and ignore traditional feature phones. , I think traditional feature phones can still thrive for many years.”

"Of course," Mr. Ni nodded without hesitation: "I think that even with the rapid development of smart phones, in the future, functional phones will still occupy a considerable market. The era of coexistence of functional machines.”

Mr. Ni’s point of view is also a consensus in the mobile phone industry. With the rapid development of mobile phone microprocessor technology and other peripheral supporting technologies, everyone recognizes the prospect of smart phones and believes that in the future, smart phones will be the flagship of mobile phone products. Mainstream, but everyone also believes that, just like the "high-low match" between mobile phones and BP in the past few years, in the future, it will inevitably be an era where smartphones and feature phones coexist, and smartphones are active in the mid-range and above markets. , while the feature phone focuses on the low-end market to meet the basic communication needs of ordinary users.

Before that, Zhang Qihang was really worried that Mr. Ni would not come out if he plunged into the smartphone field. Now that he said that, he felt relieved.

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

Everyone talked and laughed all the way into the laboratory. After the visit, Zhang Qihang, who was satisfied with everything, asked Mr. Ni: "Mr. Ni, have you encountered any difficulties in our center? What kind of support do we need from the group?"

"Not for the time being." Speaking of this, the thin old man Ni smiled all over his face, and he said from the bottom of his heart: "Not only do we have sufficient funds here, but no matter what equipment is needed, we only need to make a report to explain it." It can be approved in one click, and there are special circumstances for those who cannot be approved, and we can all understand. In addition, the company is also very good in terms of salary and treatment, and it has not treated us badly... In short, doing research at our center, Everyone is very happy."

The old man is indeed very happy. The time he worked in the integrated circuit design and R&D center of Huateng Group can be said to be the happiest time he has been in these years. He only needs to do research that he likes every day, and he no longer needs to pay for it. The old man has found a second spring in his career and research career, and he is in a very good mood every day. Now he only hopes that this kind of life can continue.

"Success, I feel at ease with your words," Zhang Qihang said with a smile, "It's still the same sentence, if you have any questions, just ask."

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

Half a month later, the major mobile phone manufacturers in China, who had completed the verification of the baseband chip and radio frequency chip of Huateng Industrial Group and Spreadtrum, and were completely relieved, flocked to adjust the previous intention contract to Formal cooperation contract, Chen Haiyang was dumbfounded when he saw the frightening numbers on the copies of the contracts that Huateng Industrial Group sent to the provincial state-owned assets office for record!

While stunned, Chen Haiyang couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "Everyone said before that making chips is a money-losing business, and no one is willing to do this, but why is it also a money-losing business? It turned into a big money business?"

Everyone who heard this was speechless, and they admired Zhang Qihang's ability even more: Zhang is always really good at making so much money with chips!
