Riding the wind of rebirth

This is the path that Zhou Zhi, based on the experience of later generations, believes that he can reluctantly follow the current domestic situation.

Chasing the "core" right from the start actually doesn't work because it will face several problems.

The first is that from design to manufacturing process, when no country in the world has a monopoly on the entire industrial chain, China, as a catching-up country, wants to set this as its goal, which is indeed a bit fanciful.

Secondly, to achieve this goal, the resources consumed are too great. The current national strength cannot allow this. Otherwise, it will be like the polar bear and bald eagle engaging in the space race, and they will be dragged down by the huge expenditure in the end.

Next, even if it is produced, how can it ensure that it can beat the previous major manufacturers in the competition?

Everything starts with accumulation of quantitative changes, then slowly reaches a critical point, and finally triggers qualitative changes.

However, the reasons for reaching this critical point are very complicated. It cannot be achieved by simply pushing hard. It involves resource investment, talent introduction and training, technical capabilities, market demand, policy tendencies, and even Industrial adjustment, local conditions, domestic and foreign political factors, etc...

Although the country's need for technology is urgent, urgency does not mean "seeking medical treatment in a hurry", nor does it mean "daring to fight an unprepared battle." Doing so will only repeat the mistakes of "808".

The best way is to work hard to reach the places you can currently reach, pick those ripe fruits first, and then expand your orchard, cultivate your own customers, and even exchange your own planting technology with others for what you want. s things.

No one in this world is a philanthropist. Common interests are the strongest glue for forming alliances, and new common interests are also the best way to form new alliances and destroy old alliances.

Therefore, Zhou Zhi's advice to Lao Hu is very simple, that is, first make our own "irreplaceable", and then use our "irreplaceable" to exchange for what we want from others.

This thing is hard to find, but it's definitely not impossible.

The smart IC card is the first step, and the industrial control board equipped with IMOP composed of MiniCos, which is the "Intelligent Mobile Device Universal Operating Platform", is the second step.

The third step is what Zhouzhi has not told Lao Hu yet, that is IMCOP, which when translated is called Intelligent Mobile Communications Common Operating Platform.

But even if he didn't know the result, Lao Hu was already very excited, because Zhou Zhi told him that Clover had obtained Microsoft's WMP streaming protocol authorization, plus FLAC and APE lossless compression of CD records that had expired. Format protocols, as well as the MPEG LAYER1, LAYER2 that have been purchased, and the LAYER3 protocol that is closely followed by the AXA Fund Intellectual Property Department, Clover Company has basically won all the mainstream encoding protocols for audio media in the future.

Loading these protocols onto IMOP will create a digital music player that can interpret mainstream audio encoding formats today and in the future.

Regarding the MPEG standard protocol, the ISO International Standards Organization has an MPEG Audio committee, which is looking for a member to develop a reference simulation software called ISO 11172-5 in C language.

On some non-real-time operating systems, this software can be used to simulate real-time hard decoding of audio files based on DSP encoding.

With this software, you can convert a large number of MPEG audio files and provide services for consumer receivers and digital broadcast set-top boxes.

Which company is better at C language programming for audio media? Of course, it was the first to get the WMP agreement, Microsoft's loyal partner Clover.

Therefore, Zhou Zhi led the streaming media team of Clover Company and released the first encoder called "L3enc" four months ahead of the real history. L3 means MPEG LAYER3, and enc means encoder, the abbreviation of encoder. Therefore, the L3enc encoder is the world's first MP3.

Of course, this is not the kind of MP3 that everyone will be familiar with in later generations. This is just a software on the computer, a tool program written in C language. It contains two parts: encoding and decoding. It can convert ordinary CD digital audio tracks to Compress it into MP3 format files with a compression ratio of up to twelve times.

Of course, it can also be interpreted through a decoding program.

Next, the decoder is solidified on the chip, the decoding chip is installed on the IMOP, plus a dedicated control program, a digital-to-analog conversion module, headphones, and an LCD screen, and then an MP3 player in the traditional sense can be born.

But the most difficult problem from 0 to 1 has been solved by Clover Company, and the remaining ones are no longer dimensionality increases, but dimensionality reduction and expansion from to .

The audio and video electronic technology of the island country is still very good, otherwise it would not have occupied almost all the home appliances in the country. Zhou Zhi hurriedly developed the MP3 encoder, of course he had his own purpose.

On the one hand, it entrusts two major factories in Shanghai to produce decoding chips for itself. On the other hand, it is now seeking cooperation opportunities with Japan and South Korea.

In An Chunjia's words, Zhou Zhi is a completely mentally twisted pervert.

On the one hand, he told everyone to strictly guard against representatives from Japan and South Korea. To this end, he would not hesitate to invest resources in building independent work areas and regional firewalls, and would not hesitate to reorganize various systems. He also expressed the need to strengthen supervision and ask everyone to resolutely act in strict accordance with the rules. .

It stands to reason that this is a gesture to deal with an imaginary enemy, but what about the other side? But Zhou Zhi is seriously thinking about the possibility of cooperation and looking for opportunities for cooperation between several parties. In Hu Tianyu's vicious words, it is "just short of sleeping in someone else's bed."

However, Zhou Zhi said that you know nothing. If I can work with the capitalists to harvest Japan, South Korea and the Western world through this, why shouldn't I do it?

Hu Tianyu said that while you were harvesting them, weren't you also harvesting the country? Don’t you have to share what you harvest with the capitalists of other countries honestly?

Zhou Zhi only used one sentence to persuade these two guys, that is, "Anyone who talks about efficacy without regard to dose is just a hooligan."

We have to look at this matter from both sides. First, if this thing comes to pass, will we harvest more at home, or will we harvest more abroad?

It is obvious that in foreign countries where intellectual property laws are more stringent and perfect, and mass consumption is more accustomed to the intellectual property profit model, that is, accustomed to using "genuine" products, and where consumption levels are higher, the harvest will be greater.

The second is to look at the profit distribution, who gets the big head and who gets the small head.

Now that Zhouzhi has gained the first-mover advantage, several decoding chips will be launched first by the end of April.

Because the requirements for these chips are not too high, there are not one or two domestic manufacturers that can design and manufacture 0.35 micron chips.

Of course, these chips can only solve the domestic problem of "availability or not". The question of "goodness or not" will probably still fall on Japan and South Korea.

But Zhou Zhi is prepared to hold this "whether" in his hands first, and then use this "whether" to determine the "goodness" of the two countries.
