Chapter 367 The way out for domestic computers?Germination is in action!
After flipping through the work briefing, Zhang Shuo browsed the news online again.

Most of the hottest posts are related to Germination, and they are still in the focus and vortex of public opinion.

Zhang Shuo skipped directly.

He quickly noticed a piece of news related to Tengda, but Tengda unexpectedly reached an out-of-court settlement agreement with Frog Bull. Tenda will sign a three-year agency contract with Frog Bull.

It is equivalent to providing a guarantee for the frog bull.

Frog Bull may also realize that if the lawsuit is really going on, they may win, but the final outcome may not be very good. It is better to accept the goodwill from Tengda and stop the loss in time.

But from Tengda's point of view.

Naturally, it is to spend money to eliminate negative effects and demonstrate its money-making ability again.

"Twice."

To be honest, Tengda's public relations for this crisis are not bad, and it is already the best choice at the moment.

Losing the lawsuit is of course unacceptable to Tengda.

Winning is not necessarily a good thing.

As Lu Jian said, it is tantamount to overdrawing Tenda's reputation in the industry.

With such a compromise, the adverse effects can be eliminated in the shortest possible time, and it will not be said that Tengda will not be able to step down, and the inside face is basically saved.

just a little bit.

Even if the two parties reconcile, there is a high probability that the "Nine Yin Scriptures" will not be saved.

Once the prodigal son is gone, he will not look back!

In addition to the reconciliation with Frog, there are rumors on the Internet that Tenda intends to cut off its e-commerce business and is looking for potential partners. It is not known whether the news is true or not.

.........

Although the next day was Saturday, the class was still on as usual.

night.

Zhang Shuo and Gu Mingzhang attended the Binhai City Excellent Entrepreneur Awards Ceremony.

Cai Miaomiao originally wanted to make a fuss, saying that he wanted to gain insight, but Zhang Shuo refused, "You Miaomiao Bicycle has just been established, and you haven't even started a serious business, so why do you want to gain insight?"

"All right!"

Cai Miaomiao also has a youthful heart, so she retreated unhappily.

Because Zhang Shuo had already received relevant honors, Zhang Shuo declined the second award arrangement from Binhai City, bluntly saying that he would leave the opportunity to more people.

Then--

Gu Mingzhang was named one of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs in Binhai City.

This is not to say partiality.

Regardless of Zhang Shuo's aura, Gu Mingzhang, as the senior vice president of Germination and the president of Maili Group, deserves such praise with the amazing performance of Maili X1 last year.

In fact.

Gu Mingzhang is not the only one under Germination, like Du Qingqing, the president of Pinxixi Group, also won similar honors in Jiangcheng. Others include Pei Weiping from Yangcheng, Cao Yanhua from Rongcheng, etc.

This year can be described as a bumper harvest year for buds.

In contrast, Du Ruiwen from Beijing Normal University and Tang Xiang from Magic City have not been able to win any honors this year due to the fierce competition between the two places, but it will be a matter of time.

Binhai City was also selected together with Wang Tao.

With the shocking listing of Wujiang Genie, Wujiang Technology has also grown from an unknown start-up company to a world-famous company, and even the status of the founder Wang Tao has also risen.

By comparison.

Whether it is Linde New Energy, which is also invested by Germination, or WALL-E Smart Manufacturing, they are still on the "eve of awakening", and it will take a few years to bloom.

A good meal is never too late.

Although Zhang Shuo did not win the award, he also attended the party, just like Mr. Ren and the second master before, not only to give the official face, but also to support the younger generation.

And Zhang Shuo's current status in the business world seems to have directly caught up with Mr. Ren and the second master. In a sense, it is even more dazzling. As soon as he entered the arena, he became the focus of the audience.

It was a good exchange of pleasantries.

It wasn't until the second master came over that the others took their leave.

"Second Master!"

Zhang Shuo also took the initiative to say hello and gave him enough respect.

After exchanging pleasantries, the second master immediately got down to business and said to Zhang Shuo, "Is Mengya interested in taking over the e-commerce business under Tenda?"

"Ok?"

Zhang Shuo was slightly surprised, and then remembered the news he saw yesterday.

Hard to do.

Tenda really wants to cut off its e-commerce business?

"Uh, it is difficult for Tenda E-commerce and Pinxixi to complement each other." Zhang Shuo declined.

Tell the truth.

He didn't look down on Tenda's e-commerce business at all, and he would not allow it to be said that Tenda used the sale of low-quality assets such as the e-commerce business to participate in Xixi.

It's beautiful to think.

The original Space-Time Jingdong was willing to cooperate with Tenda, not because of Tenda's e-commerce business, but because of Weixin, ICQ's traffic support, and Weixin payment.

But this life.

Tengda has everything, and Germination has them all, and they are even better.

"That's it."

The second master was a little disappointed, he really wanted to invest in Xixi.

did not expect.

Before he had time to speak, he was rejected by Zhang Shuo.

There are some uncomfortable feelings in my heart.

"So, does Mr. Zhang have any suggestions for the development of Tengda?" The second master continued to ask.

"Ok?"

Zhang Shuo suspected that he had heard wrong.

"It's a bit abrupt, but I really want to hear your advice. After all, you are a legend." Recently, due to internal friction between Lu Jian and Yu Yu, the second master has a headache.

By coincidence, Zhang Shuo, his opponent, was asked for advice.

As expected of the second master.

"Uh, this, to be honest, I can't give any suggestions. If I really want to say, then I can only say that maybe overseas will be a good growth point in the future." Zhang Shuoqiang suppressed the weirdness in his heart.

"Do you want to expand overseas markets? What's the reason?" Er Ye was noncommittal.

"Because there are only endless involutions in the country."

Second Master: "..."

All of a sudden, he couldn't figure out whether Zhang Shuo's words were sincere or just joking.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuo just smiled, then turned and left.

What he said was actually the truth.

In terms of the degree of involution, no one in China's Internet industry can match it.

Ari, Tengda, and Qiandu are all the masters who want them all.

Even if it is a rising star, such as mildew, character jumping, and startling winter, there is no essential difference between their eating habits and practices, and their predecessors' Big Three.

Meituan develops taxi-hailing business, and even does e-commerce.

Character jumping is even more ruthless. After obtaining massive traffic through the short video business, there is no business not to do in live broadcasting, e-commerce, games, online literature, tourism, etc.

It seems to be trying to squeeze out the last bit of residual value of the traffic.

It's just another Tengda.

The difference is that Tenda is based on ICQ traffic, and character jumping is based on short videos.

The essence is the same.

Even Jingdong, which has always been known for its "professionalism and focus", did not spread later that it intends to enter the takeaway market and develop a takeaway business, and it is also tightly introverted.

No wonder someone said.

At the end of Huaxia's Internet companies are Internet finance and food delivery.

Especially in the field of Internet finance, none of the giants mentioned above does not do it, and even Pingguo is said to end up lending money.

That's enough!

Afterwards, Zhang Shuo took another opportunity to chat with Mr. Ren.

Under the personal promotion of the two of them, Huawei and Germination have cooperated for the first time, but it remains to be seen how to make the cooperation bear fruit and how to avoid internal friction.

Tell the truth.

It is not something that Zhang Shuo and President Ren can completely decide.

.........

Monday, May 1.

In the morning, Gu Mingzhang formally reported the local computer market research situation to Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo specially asked Lu Qi to listen together.

"Huaxia's computer market, regardless of the assembly manufacturer's desires, but only from the analysis of the computer accessories market, the overall situation is - all but not big, big but not strong."

"Comprehensive but not big, it means that the entire computer industry chain of Huaxia is still complete, from peripheral monitors, power supplies, chassis, radiators, speakers, keyboards, mice and other accessories, to core memory, hard disks, CPUs, motherboards, graphics cards And other accessories, even the operating system, there are corresponding companies.”

"But they are basically in the second and third gears, and very few of them are in the first gear."

"How are the first, second and third grades divided?" Zhang Shuo asked.

In my impression, the original time and space will be around 2022, and the domestic computer accessories should be branched out. Except for a few core accessories such as CPU and motherboard, others have already caught up.

It's not as unbearable as the outside world understands.

Of course, all these achievements have nothing to do with a certain idea.

It's also ironic.

"The first, second and third grades are not professional divisions, but from the perspective of consumers."

Gu Mingzhang explained.

"The first grade is the consumer grade, that is, it has entered the civilian market in an all-round way, and will be considered by some DIY players and users, and can be easily bought."

"The second grade is office grade, which is characterized by security and no back door. It can meet basic office needs and can handle text and graphics work, but its performance is average, and ordinary users don't consider it."

"The third grade is professional grade, which is mainly used in servers, supercomputing, embedded devices and other fields."

"What about the development prospects?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"The outlook remains positive."

The investigation report produced by Gu Mingzhang clearly has something in it, "Accessories such as monitors, power supplies, chassis, radiators, speakers, keyboards, mice, etc. are expected to enter the first gear in the next five to ten years."

"Especially for accessories such as mice and keyboards, there are already many well-known brands."

This is not a joke.

The monitors of the original Space-Time Whale Dongfang have achieved the world's first.

"Compared with CPU, memory and hard disk have a slightly lower technical threshold, and there is also a lot of room for future development. It is also expected to catch up, or even catch up with overseas manufacturers."

This reminded Zhang Shuo that the Zhitai launched by the original space-time Changjiang storage is already at the leading level in the world.

In this life, it will only come out sooner.

Sure enough, Gu Mingzhang also quickly named the Inaosui Group, "If the Inaosui Group succeeds in acquiring Hitachi Storage and taking over Jiangxia Xinxin, it is expected to make a major breakthrough in the field of hard drives and memory chips."

"As for the graphics card, although the technical difficulty is comparable to that of memory, because high-end graphics cards require the cooperation of game manufacturers, overseas companies have an absolute advantage in this area."

Speaking of this, Gu Mingzhang paused for a moment, because he thought of Jade Interactive Entertainment under Germination.

There are various indications.

Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is no longer satisfied with the field of mobile games, and has begun to make frequent efforts in the field of end games and stand-alone games. In the future, it may be able to cooperate with the development of graphics cards.

Zhang Shuo obviously thought of this, and said with a smile: "Inaosui Group can consider entering the field of graphics cards. In this area, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment can cooperate."

In terms of game development, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment does not lose to any game company in the world.

"it is good."

Gu Mingzhang also wrote it down with a smile.

"So, what about the CPU?"

Zhang Shuo finally asked the most critical question.

"CPU can be regarded as the core component of a computer, with the highest technical content, and an area with the highest overseas technology patent wall, so it is also the most difficult to break through."

As for the motherboard, because it is developed and designed together with the CPU, it can be classified into the same category.

"Specifically, domestic CPU manufacturers can be divided into three categories."

"One is to obtain the authorization of Yingtel, and adopt the unique X86 architecture of Yingtel, which are respectively Shanghai Zhaoxin in Shanghai and Haiguang in Haijin City. The way to obtain authorization is basically investment."

"The X86 architecture is not considered." Zhang Shuo directly vetoed it.

"I think so too."

Gu Mingzhang took advantage of the situation and said: "Because of its absolute dominance in the field of computer CPUs, in recent years, Intel has become more and more bad, from being closed to being even more closed."

"There are only two or three companies in the world that have actually obtained the X86 architecture, not to mention that."

"The most speechless is—"

"Once a company authorized by Intel's technology grows bigger, such as AMD, it will be caught in endless patent litigation with Intel, which can be described as miserable."

Because of this kind of closure, the original space-time Intel has tasted the bitter fruit, making the more open ARM architecture stand out in one fell swoop, replacing the X86 architecture and becoming the most popular chip architecture in the world.

For example, Warwick Hayes uses the ARM architecture.

Although Huawei's main focus is on server chips, it has also launched a youth version for office computers, and its performance is not bad, basically reaching the second-grade level.

"In addition to the X86 architecture and ARM architecture, there is another domestic company that is unique, and that is Longxin, which completely bypasses the x86 architecture and ARM architecture, and will always have complete independent intellectual property rights. However, this is a development that is destined to be very difficult. , there is not much prospect of development yet.”

Obviously, Gu Mingzhang was not very optimistic about Long Xin.

"It's up to people to do it!"

Zhang Shuo doesn't think so, "The road of independent research and development seems to be the most difficult to walk, but once it goes through, it will be a real broad road, and it will no longer be controlled by others."

In my impression, Longxin's development in the original time and space is getting better and better, and later the Longxin architecture was launched.

Absolutely worth the wait.

Gu Mingzhang nodded silently. After working with the big boss for so long, he has long realized that the big boss has a strong paranoia about getting rid of his dependence on foreign countries.

It can be seen from the independent research and development of chips and operating systems for Maili mobile phones.

"That's settled then."

Through Gu Mingzhang's report, Zhang Shuo's thinking has become clearer, "Sprout wants to enter the computer market, not only as a technology integrator, but also as a technology researcher."

"Specifically, it's—"

"Leave peripheral accessories such as monitors, power supplies, chassis, radiators, speakers, keyboards, mice, etc. to partners and suppliers for research and development, and Germination will not participate in it personally."

"The graphics card, memory and hard disk will be the main direction of the budding."

"As for the CPU, in addition to relying on Candle Dragon Technology, the most important thing is to find a way to reach a strategic cooperation with Longxin and provide Longxin with sufficient research and development funds in order to break out of the cocoon and rebirth."

"That takes a lot of patience."

Gu Mingzhang reminded, "According to the research report, my opinion is to proceed in three steps."

"Oh? Talk about it."

Zhang Shuo immediately became interested.

"The first step is to develop a tablet that has many similarities with Maili mobile phone and has relatively low technical barriers, that is, Maili tablet." Gu Mingzhang obviously came prepared.

"The second step is to develop a wheat notebook computer based on the wheat tablet."

"The third step is the most technically difficult desktop computer."

Obviously, Gu Mingzhang is also very clear that whether it is graphics card, memory, hard disk, or more core CPU, it will not take three or two years to catch up with the world-class level.

It didn't need to be done in one step.

There is actually no necessary connection between product making and research and development.

Like a grain of wheat X1.

It does not prevent us from saying that first-class products are made with second-rate technology.

The same is true in the computer field. In the early stage, overseas core spare parts can be used to develop stunning enough wheat tablets and wheat notebooks.

Make money first, and then use the money earned to invest in research and development, and then achieve self-sufficiency.

"very good!"

Of course Zhang Shuo was also very satisfied, "There is no overheating."

"It's just that there are still two thorny issues in order to realize this plan." Since it is a discussion, it is impossible for Gu Mingzhang to say that he only reports good news and not bad news.

"Which two questions?" Zhang Shuo vaguely guessed something.

"The first question, whether it is a wheat tablet, a wheat notebook computer, or even a subsequent wheat desktop computer, there is a major premise, which is to adopt the Xisoil system."

"It can be said that the success or failure of the soil soil system is related to the success or failure of the entire product line."

If the tablets and laptops launched by Maili Group still use foreign operating systems, they are essentially no different from what a certain think.

Consumers may not buy it.

If it's just to act as a second thought, it's meaningless at all.

"The problem now is that the research and development of the Xiyang system has just started, not to mention that it is still a joint research and development between us and Huawei. If there is a mistake in any link in the middle, it may fall short."

obviously.

Up to now, Gu Mingzhang is still full of concerns about the cooperation with Huawei.

Because the competition with each other is too overlapping.

"Do you want to gain control of Xiyang Technology?" Zhang Shuo pointed out Gu Mingzhang's careful thinking.

"Yes."

Gu Mingzhang didn't shy away from it, "We can't give the key half-life to the partner."

"I do not think so."

Zhang Shuo shook his head, "Actually, without Huawei's participation, the Xiyang project would be difficult to succeed. To be precise, we are asking Huawei for cooperation, not Huawei begging us."

"It's one of them."

"Secondly, whether it is a domestic operating system or a computer, if you want to complete the corner overtaking, the time window is more than ten years in the future, and there are no more opportunities left for us."

In other words.

Even if Germinal wants to start anew, it won't work.

"Yes, you are right, but, chairman, you can't deny that my worries are groundless." Gu Mingzhang was obviously not convinced by Zhang Shuo.

"Then why, don't you just make Xiyang more open?" Zhang Shuo laughed.

"Ok?"

Gu Mingzhang was in a daze, and didn't turn the corner for a while.

"You said that it doesn't matter if Huawei is not dedicated or cooperative, so you instinctively want to gain control of the project. This is human nature, and you can't say it wrong."

Zhang Shuo didn't mean to blame Gu Mingzhang.

"But why can't we take a step back? Turn Xiyang Technology into an ecological chain of joint research, sharing and sharing by Huaxia, and give it to the whole industry for free to use and participate together."

"Ah, this..."

Gu Mingzhang was stunned by Zhang Shuo's thoughts.

"The second question you mentioned before is that you are worried about the ecological circle of the soil system?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"Yes."

Gu Mingzhang came back to his senses for a while, and explained: "Whether it's a laptop or a desktop computer, it's different from a smartphone or a tablet. It's mainly used for office work and games."

"This involves office software, CAD software, drawing software, video editing software, and even a series of software such as chip design and industrial design."

"And these software are basically attached to Weiruan ecology or linux ecology."

"If the Xiyang system is to be successfully applied to the computer side, in addition to technical success, more importantly, it is the most difficult thing to rebuild a software ecosystem."

Even Pingguo failed to really solve this problem.

Many mac users will choose to reinstall the Windows system, or engage in dual systems, so it has not become the first choice of ordinary consumers.

A large reason for the success of Pingguo Computer is that it chose to find another way and made breakthroughs in the fields of video editing and decoders, and then won the favor of some professionals.

That's it.

"The problem you mentioned is actually entangled with the first one and can be solved together."

Zhang Shuo laughed.
