Chapter 239 Controversy about launching the first generation system

Monday, September 9th.

The weather was not so beautiful, and there was a muffled thunder rumbling early in the morning.

The temperature was high and hot and muggy.

However, in any case, today is the official start of the new semester, so after breakfast, Wen Liang hurriedly sent Li Rang to the Primary School Attached to China Normal University.

By the way.

After seeing Li Rang off, Wen Liang walked into the Huagong campus.

Afterwards, Wen Liang walked into the classroom together with Chen Jiaxin, Zhao Mingjie, and Tang Pu.

As usual, the first class of the new semester in the new school year is a class meeting. As usual, it is an unfamiliar classroom and familiar students.

Speaking of which, today's grade 10 students in the number of classes should be confident wherever they go.

Whenever I meet people, I say, "Wen Liang and I are in the same class now."

As soon as these words came out, the pressure immediately went up.

Hey~ Don't talk about being with people of the same age, you can also pretend to be with people of the older generation.

Anyway, counting things like social status, Mr. Wen ranked in the top [-] in China, and only [-] people were ranked higher than Mr. Wen.

Besides, Mr. Wen is very expensive, he is still very young, only 20 years old.

You line up, you line up a 20-year-old person who earned such a large family fortune by punching and kicking himself.

Second generation?What kind of second generation tried to play with Wen Liang, his father would break his leg.

Seeing Wen Liang and the others walk in, the eldest sister Liang Yameng raised her brows and joked, "Half Bo Lang is here."

"Haha, Sister Yameng has finished talking."

"Don't Boss Wen have a meeting today on Monday?"

"That's what I said, Wen Liang is the boss, so it's up to him whether or not to hold a meeting!"

"I heard that Mr. Chen is in charge of the process, can he manage Boss Wen?"

Wen Liang walked to the last row by the window as usual, with a smile on his face: "It's fine, it's fine, besides, we, Mr. Chen, shouldn't be happy."

Zhao Mingjie couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing: "Find a place to take the old warm shark."

Chen Jiaxin replied blankly: "If it is, Gan is the most useless."

Tang Pu immediately smiled knowingly.

Zhao Mingjie: "..."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Ju and his curious classmates also asked some gossip points from netizens.

"Mr. Wen, what kind of department is Bolang Laboratory? How can there be so many positions that are consistent with the first-level disciplines of science and engineering?"

"Yeah, because of this, there is a lot of noise on the Internet."

"It is said that Bolang will not target indiscriminately."

"It is said that Mr. Wen, you are supporting unnecessary face-saving projects."

"Anyway, there is everything to say."

Seeing this, Wen Liang asked back with a smile: "Then which point of view do you agree with?"

Jia Ju replied with a face of course: "Of course I agree that Bo Lang will not be aimless. Anyway, we are close to the water and know that Bo Lang has many cooperative laboratories in our school. Even Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng are in it, right?"

Liang Yameng interjected: "I think it can be a face project. After all, Mr. Wen has the ability to turn a face project into a real project."

It looks like dismantling the stage, and it is also an option for Wen Liang to step down.

'Ya Qi' is still the first sister of the Xiaochengshu platform, her position is unbreakable, her worth has already exceeded tens of millions, and she is considered well-informed.

Facing everyone's curious eyes, he said casually in a gentle tone: "There is indeed a need, but it is half and half now. If it has achieved results, it is targeted, and if it is not achieved, it is a face project."

Everyone laughed, but didn't get to the bottom of it.

……

Wen Liang was not joking.

There is indeed a need for Bolang Lab to recruit talents in various basic disciplines for the society on a large scale.

Although the requirements were listed earlier, Li Ze and Sun Baoyin coordinated resources and refined the positions, but many sub-projects were cross-categories. In the end, Yang Yun found that it was not conducive to recruitment.

So Wen Liang recruited directly in the form of basic subjects.

These demands revolve around the mobile phone business.

For example, Wen Liang emphasized the need to master certain key patents in baseband, which requires a lot of human and material resources in physics, mathematics, communication and other professional fields for research and sorting out.

In addition to the baseband, there are various non-core processing chips, including but not limited to battery management chips, radio frequency chips, and so on.

On the contrary, compared with processing chips that burn hundreds of millions without even seeing their shadows, these non-core processing chips are either analog chips or radio frequency types, which do not burn much money, and the research and development process is rich and thrifty. Anything can be done.

Including tapeouts!

Some of these gadgets still have a 300nm process. Compared with the Mi 2 processing chip released last month, which uses a 28nm process, the process is not as simple as ten times worse.

This type of chip is led by an experienced boss, and about 20 people can handle it.

However, there are not many companies that can break through.

Because marketization is not easy to do.

Low barriers to entry means more competition, simple as that.

But Bolang is different, Bolang can produce and sell itself.

As for why Wen Liang wants to mess with himself in every aspect, let's think of him as persecution paranoia.

After all, in 2202, even the open source code of the Tama open source community has jurisdiction. It is a joke to say that all Tama without borders.

Dare to invest so much, because Bolang's size is that the cash on the account is too abundant to support these basic hardware-level R&D projects that cost tens of millions in the entire process.

Not to mention the current monthly revenue of hundreds of millions or billions.

Let’s say that the 7 billion raised in early July, except for the billions that were quickly allocated for the land transaction, other funds that were planned for use were not spent immediately, and now there are more than one billion left.

With such a deep confidence and such a long infrastructure construction cycle, it is natural to focus on the development project first.

As for how to plan the follow-up finances... isn't there Wang Wanyu?
Polite: "Are you Wang Wanyu?"

Speaking of which, Mr. Wang is in a state of distress recently, because Wen Liang lost two more lives.

One is that the budgeted mobile phone business may lose as much as 5 million in the first stage. You must know that this is a project that has not yet been officially launched!

As Bolang's God of Wealth, Wang Wanyu must at least ensure that no matter how much the business loses money, the company will be able to provide money.

In any case, the budget is definitely not going to work.

The other is the group scientist system. This Wang Wanyu glanced at the draft and immediately felt that her head was too big, and her investment was exaggerated.

Anyway, it's a headache.

…………

On the first day of the new semester, there is only half a morning class meeting.

Entering the junior year, the coursework is greatly reduced.

There are only two basic compulsory courses in this semester.

And Huagong is based on the credit system. Taking Wen Liang's major as an example, you can graduate after completing 170 credits, of which the basic compulsory credits are as high as 133.5.

Freshmen and sophomores have taken a lot of courses, and I already have a lot of credits for taking three courses this semester.

In the next semester, there is only one compulsory course left.

In the senior year, there is only one thing that is compulsory for the entire school year, the graduation thesis.

Elective?

Look at your hard work in the previous three years, if you don't have enough credits, you have to take another course.

In short, due to the hard work of freshmen and sophomores, from this semester, Wen Liang's classwork is quite relaxed.

There are two days a week without class.

3+2 belongs to yes.

Of course... I have to say it secretly, it doesn't matter whether Wen Liang attends class or not.

The school even wanted to warmly invite classmate Wen Liang to be a graduate student, and it is best to study in a master's and doctoral degree!
For example, Professor Chang is looking forward to Wen Liang being his graduate student.

Moreover, Professor Chang has always valued Wen Liang's learning ability.

Based on such a relaxed coursework, Wen Liang went to Fuzhou on a business trip led by Liu Chiping, the white goose, on the third day after the start of school.

I had a brief talk with China Mobile and China Unicom over there.

Since the launch of the six-city directional traffic package in Guangdong, the results have been very good. Bo Lang and Bai Goose have shown their sincerity, and the negotiation went very smoothly.

After that, Wen Liang lived a real college life.

Going to work is three days of fishing and two days of drying the net.

Learning is also three days of fishing and two days of drying the net.

…………

…………

On the 13th, Apple released the iPhone5.

Equipped with iOS6, Siri that supports Chinese dialogue is officially launched.

The hardware supports the 4G network of the FDD standard, and the 4G network can be used in many regions of the world.

Announced that it will go on sale on the 21st. The first batch of sales will be in Hong Kong, but not in China.

Large-scale discussions took place on various social media platforms led by Xiaochengshu.

The hottest is a comment from a communications observer, who believes that the iPhone 5 lacks the surprises people expected, and that Cook has brought the iPhone back from a work of art to a mobile phone.

In addition, the discussion about Siri is also rampant.

Netizens have high expectations for this software.

……

Time flies to the 20th, Thursday.

Yang Xingshan and Dai Li joined Bolang's No. 30 days.

In the afternoon, Li Ze hosted an online meeting.

There were many participants, but Wen Liang did not participate at first.

After 45 minutes of the meeting, Wen Liang joined in.

In the general manager's office, Wen Liang flipped through the summary information submitted by Lixia, and said, "Lizhu summarized the focus of your previous discussions."

"The core controversy is that Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yang, and Mr. Dai all believe that the first version of the mobile phone system should not be launched hastily because of the launch of the iPhone5. Mr. Ze insists on his own opinion out of market considerations, right?"

Li Ze was the first to speak out on the phone: "Yes."

Then several voices agreed: "Yes."

Wen Liang first gave his own opinion: "President Ze's consideration is not a problem, of course, it is normal to have disputes."

Then he said kindly: "I can understand that Mr. Yang disagrees. Mr. Dai, you are in charge of the design of the mobile phone industry. It has little to do with you whether you launch the system or not. Let's not be an example."

Dai Li on the other end was speechless immediately, and said: "I overstepped, I'm sorry, see you again, Mr. Wen."

Then decisively withdrew from the online meeting.

Mr. Wen has already mastered this simple beating.

Wen Liang said again: "Mr. Zhang, what's your opinion?"

Zhang Yulin's voice came from the phone: "Strictly speaking, the current system kernel is only a preliminary iterative version, which is quite immature and incomparable to any of iOS, Android, and WP."

Wen Liang hummed to express his agreement, and then asked: "Mr. Yang is because the current graphical interface design is not very good, so he doesn't want to rush to release it."

"Yes." Yang Xingshan replied, and then hurriedly said: "It's my problem to pull Lao Dai this time, and I will review it in writing."

Hearing this, he said in a gentle and easy-going tone: "Just pay attention next time, don't waste your energy."

Then he said: "Your starting point is understandable. Introducing an immature system to the market is neither responsible nor easy to be ridiculed by the crowd."

"However, if a product wants to be accepted by a wider range, it needs to be recognized by the market, especially for commercial products. The best way to be recognized by the market is for market consumers to participate in person."

"As the saying goes, you can't see a rainbow without going through the wind and rain."

"The meaning of Mr. Ze is actually very simple. It is better to open the door to welcome customers than to keep building a car behind closed doors. The good and the bad are not only your pressure, but also your motivation to move forward."

Finally, Wen Liang said: "Mr Yang, don't worry, subversion takes time to settle, first solve the problem from nothing to something, and then solve the problem from something to excellence."

Yang Xingshan responded: "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, we will refer to market opinions and iterate better and faster to produce a qualified version."

Gentle and kindly said: "Gong Yang reserves his opinion for the time being, and everyone strives to seek common ground while reserving differences at work."

Yang Xingshan responded again: "Okay, okay."

This concludes the meeting.

It's not that Li Ze can't handle it, but that Wen Liang is directly in charge of Bolang Lab and is also the boss. He decides that it can easily overcome the controversy.
-
PS: Solicit opinions from the big guys. 1. The name of the system is preliminarily determined to be Pangu. If you have other better suggestions, please suggest them.

2. The brand name of the mobile phone. I don’t intend to call it Bolang directly. I have no idea for a while. Please give me a name~
