Riding the wind of rebirth

Of course, this "yes" has not been realized yet, so there are certain things that cannot be said to Matsui Zoukin Junichi in order to avoid being passive due to intelligence leakage.

The best lie to cover up the truth is 70% true and 30% false. Zhou Zhi cleverly guided the two of them into thinking that Clover Company was going all out to realize the IMOP universal platform.

This goal is very ambitious and "lofty", but it also means that it is difficult to achieve.

In China, where smart IC card production lines still need to be introduced, a company suddenly appeared and talked about a "universal operating platform for smart mobile devices", which was really too ambitious.

Even if this company has completed VC contracting, developed its own window-based COS, or even further streamlined it into MiniCOS, it is still too ambitious.

The reason is very simple, that is, even if MiniCOS is as mature as Zhou Zhi said, no company in China has the strength to develop an industrial control board that can carry this system.

Software without hardware support is called a castle in the air.

Therefore, Clover Company has only one option: to seek partners, or to directly sell MiniCOS, or even the company to be merged and acquired.

These are the routine operations of foreign high-tech companies. Technology brokers and technology intelligence spies are playing a prosperous role in it. The countless acquisitions and mergers are dizzying for people to see, which fully illustrates everyone's long-term understanding of this industry. Optimistic and extremely concerned.

For the corporate ecosystem, a product that can be sold but has not fallen behind can be sold in time, in exchange for a large amount of funds for its own development, or it can be merged into a cutting-edge department of a large enterprise, and then receive a large amount of resource injection, regardless of For products, businesses, or personal development, these things cannot actually be considered bad things.

But Zhou Zhi didn't want to.

Because Zhou Zhi is very clear about the future that others can't see clearly, he knows what kind of cornucopia the thing in his hand will be if it continues to develop, and he knows its future value, so no matter how high the price others offer now, he will not be tempted.

Selling is impossible, but cooperation is still possible.

Zhou Zhi did not lie to the two of them, and indeed laid out Clover's long-term goal IMOP and mid-term goal of a universal operating system for digital cameras.

However, this only covers six points, and the other four points are the big secret, which is the audio decoding chip that will be released in April.

Due to careful design requirements, only the underlying architecture is solidified in this chip, with three flash memory areas above it.

The first area is the algorithm area, which stores the algorithm and work logic flow for decoding.

The second area is the protocol area, which stores authorized decoders. Zhou Zhi is of course prepared to stuff all the protocol decoders he has obtained into it, so that one player can play files in a variety of music formats, including CD digital audio tracks, MP1, MP2, MP3, and Microsoft's WMP.

The third area is the operation area, which stores the underlying support tools for algorithms and protocols - a multimedia playback system based on the MiniCOS design concept and simpler than a digital camera operating system.

We had finished all the sake, and Zhou Zhi asked for a bottle of Fenjiu. The two foreigners were still not used to drinking Maotai. Fenjiu had a medicinal aroma and was relatively soft. After serving Fen wine to the two of them, Zhou Zhi said: "You two should have gotten to know Debei and Huahong in Shanghai, right? This also shows the country's emphasis on and investment in the semiconductor chip industry."

"For us Clover, this is certainly an east wind we can ride on, but I think it is also an opportunity for the two countries."

"For example, island countries once occupied an absolute market share in our country's electronics industry. But now, if you look at radio recorders, stereos, washing machines, refrigerators, color TVs, and even air conditioners and automobiles, you can already feel the influence brought by the rise of domestic companies. The pressure of market competition is coming.”

"This is an unavoidable fact and a trend that cannot be ignored." Zhou Zhi said: "What do you think Mr. Matsui?"

Matsui Zuo sighed, and the Fenjiu he drank had a hint of herbal medicine and a hint of bitterness: "Indeed, many electronics companies in China are still struggling to survive the brutal market competition, such as color TVs, washing machines, etc. The industry has even experienced serious overcapacity, and our Japanese companies, or Japanese companies that have joint ventures with your country, have also begun to feel the challenges from their Chinese counterparts in recent years."

"Fortunately, this challenge is still limited to the Chinese market and has not caused much international waves."

The implication is that there is no need for Chinese companies to be proud of this. Chinese companies are still not qualified to compete with Japanese companies in the international market.

The Chinese market is not the most profitable market for island countries. Japanese companies pay far less attention to the Chinese market than Europe and the United States, and even less than North America, South America, the Middle East and other regions. It may be better than Africa, but at most it is equivalent to Southeast Asia.

Zhou Zhi fully admits this and has no emotion at all. It is not difficult for today's China and its people to admit its backwardness. On the contrary, it is rare among today's Chinese people to be able to maintain the confidence to catch up while admitting their backwardness.

Zhou Zhi happens to be one of them, so he has no sense of Matsui's intentional or unintentional sarcasm: "Yes, but with the development of China, this kind of challenge will undoubtedly spread to more and more fields."

"Zhou Sang seems to be very concerned about the viability of our foreign companies in China?" Matsui said with a smile: "It seems that I need to represent our country's companies in your country and give a toast to Zhou Sang."

"I'm actually more concerned about myself." Zhou Zhi didn't care, and clinked glasses with Matsui Zuo again: "And the development of Clover Company."

"The trend that can be seen is that the advantages of your country's companies in the traditional low-tech electronics industry, whether it is design, manufacturing, or sales, at least in the Chinese market, have been fully utilized by Chinese companies in all aspects. High speed approach.”

"On the other track, that is, the emerging information technology industry, a similar phenomenon that occurred in the traditional low-tech electronics industry ten years ago has reappeared."

Zhou Zhi was holding a wine glass, and greed seemed to be visible in his eyes: "The country's strong support for the industry, the market's extreme hunger for products, the large shortage of industrial talents, and the need to introduce external capital and technology."

"Mr. Matsui, Mr. Jin, I don't believe you haven't seen such a strategic opportunity." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I also don't believe you haven't seen the possibility of cooperation."

"The simplest example is to equip the printing equipment and terminal display equipment sold by the two countries in our country with the Hanwen Chinese character system. This is the ultimate goal of the two insisting on joining the joint working group. You two will not think that I will Can’t you see this?”
