Set sail1992

At the beginning of this year, Apple's first-generation iPhone was officially launched, which shocked people, including Mr. Ni. However, Apple's biggest problem is that their operating system is only for their own use and will not be provided to the outside world. Combined with Nokia's mobile phones over the years, After the weak performance of Ban system and Microsoft Windows Mobile system, it can be said that the whole world has put its hope in smartphone operating system on Google's Android.

And as customers officially show their Android systems to the public, this means that this much-anticipated new smartphone operating system has entered the countdown to launch.

For Mr. Ni, who has always regarded smartphones as the best opportunity for China to rise in the chip field, this opportunity cannot be missed.

Zhang Qihang said without hesitation: "It's time to take action, but old man, at this time, we must not be anxious. There is still time, so we need to discuss how to deal with it."

"Okay, okay," Mr. Ni said excitedly, "Are you in the office right now? I'll go to your office to find you."

Zhang Qihang said: "I'm in Langya City right now. I'll get up right now. Let's meet in my office in the afternoon?"

"Okay, I'll see you in the afternoon!" Mr. Ni responded, "Just in time, I'll take this time to sort out my thoughts."

Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded: "Then it's settled."

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

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qihang took a deep breath, using this method to calm down his excitement.

Seeing Zhang Qihang who had not seen such excitement in many years, Mr. Feng was a little curious: "Qihang, I see that you attach great importance to this smartphone and this mobile operating system you are talking about."

Compared with Mr. Ni who pays more attention to chip technology, Mr. Feng focuses more on cars. Although baseband chips and radio frequency chips have made Huateng Group a lot of money in the past two years, Mr. Feng has also become more and more interested in chips. People are paying more and more attention to it, but when it comes to the degree of attention, chips can only be ranked behind cars.

This is understandable, after all, there are differences in cognition, not to mention that Mr. Feng has always been supportive of Zhang Qihang's actions in the chip field over the years. He has never frowned when funding was needed.

"Yes," Zhang Qihang nodded: "The automobile industry is very important, but in my opinion, the automobile industry has actually passed the noon and is still going downhill. Although the country's management of the automobile industry is still very strict, but maybe In more than ten years, anyone with some money will start building cars, just like the counterfeit mobile phones that are all over the streets now. Compared with the automobile industry, the chip industry has a brighter future."

Mr. Feng was a little surprised: "Are you so pessimistic about the automobile industry?"

In her opinion, it is not appropriate to describe the domestic automobile industry as "just starting out." A more accurate statement would be that the sun has begun to shine and heat at around 10 noon, showing its own energy, but it is still far from its peak. There is still a long way to go, but now, Zhang Qihang actually thinks that the automobile industry has begun to decline?The old man instinctively didn't believe it, but since these words came from Zhang Qihang's mouth, he didn't dare to completely disbelieve them.

Zhang Qihang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, old man. The decline I am talking about is from the perspective of the entire global industry, and it is also relative to the semiconductor industry. But as far as our country is concerned, the automobile industry The industry still has a long way to go... The scale of our domestic automobile industry has reached the point where both production and sales have exceeded 1000 million vehicles. But in my opinion, this is just the beginning. I think that with the continuous development of the economy, our country will The scale of automobile production and sales can exceed 2500 million units, making it the world's largest automobile production and consumer market.

From just over 1000 million vehicles to 2500 million vehicles, as far as the automobile industry is concerned, we still have a long way to go. "

"..."

Mr. Feng was speechless when he heard this: "Listen to what you are saying?"You yourself are so optimistic about the future of the domestic automobile industry, but then you turn around and say that the automobile industry has begun to decline?

If we look back 15 years from now, we are right. Today, who dares to believe that China will surpass the United States and become the world's largest automobile producer and consumer, and a few years later, it will become the world's second largest automobile exporter. country, and sit two and look at one?
After a while, Mr. Feng shook his head: "Then why are you still so pessimistic about the automobile industry?"

Zhang Qihang explained: "Master, haven't you noticed that today's cars are becoming more and more electronic, with ECUs, TCUs, ESP systems, cruise control... The relationship between cars has evolved from mechanical products to electronic products. Translation, if pure electric vehicles begin to become popular in the future, would you say that the car should be said to be a mechanical product, or should it be said to be an electromagnetic product?"

"..."

When Mr. Feng heard this, he couldn't help but frowned.

Before that, he really hadn't thought about this issue carefully, but now that he heard what Zhang Qihang said, he couldn't help but start to think about it seriously: Yes, when pure electric vehicles appear and begin to be widely used and popularized, Of course it is still a car, but should I say it is an electronic product or a mechanical product?
Call it a mechanical product, but "mechanical" things in the traditional sense, such as engines and gearboxes, are almost invisible in pure electric vehicles. Only some of the most important things such as suspension systems that have to be retained for driving are retained. Basic mechanical components, generally speaking, should be regarded as an electronic product.

Looking at the frowning Mr. Feng, Zhang Qihang continued: "Even if we don't improve pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, with the continuous advancement of electronic technology, you can see that the current pure fuel vehicles have begun to take the form of intelligence. The emergence of L2 automatic assisted driving technology is the best proof of this development trend.

Intelligence is bound to be accompanied by the application of a large number of chips. If you look at today's cars and then look at cars more than 10 years ago, how big are the differences in electronics, intelligence and chip applications?

Now, if a car manufacturer can master the production of engines and gearboxes, it means it has mastered the core technology. But in the future, it cannot be that this car manufacturer also has to master chip manufacturing technology, right?At that point, is the car manufacturer engaged in vehicle manufacturing, or has it become a pure assembly plant? "

Mr. Feng had never really thought about these issues before, but now, when he heard these questions raised by Zhang Qihang, he felt a roar in his ears.
