my return 2002

Chapter 368 Re-emerging
In fact, fingerprint recognition is not a new technology that is too advanced. On the contrary, this technology has been applied to a certain extent as early as the 80s.

There is a slang in the western world: There are no two identical leaves in the world. In human society, it is still possible to find two people who look the same, but fingerprints are unique, even the most similar twin brothers , and the fingerprints are also different. According to foreigners, this is the only ID card given to human beings by God.

In China, there were fingerprints on contracts in the Tang Dynasty. It is obvious that people have discovered the uniqueness of fingerprints since then.

Later, with the development of technology, fingerprints were used on a large scale for the first time in the field of criminal investigation. The police used technical means to extract fingerprints on various utensils to lock criminal suspects.

Since the 80s, some western countries have used fingerprints for combination locks. However, due to the high cost, the combination locks at that time could only recognize a single individual fingerprint.

After 2000, fingerprint locks began to be formally used in business. For example, fingerprint punching machines can provide fingerprint punching services for factories with tens of thousands of people by entering a large number of fingerprints.

However, applying the fingerprint recognition function to mobile phones is something that has never been done before. The concept proposed by Shen Lang quickly attracted the attention of many software and hardware manufacturers.

Of course, some people also expressed doubts.

"Mr. Shen, does it really make sense to build fingerprint recognition into mobile phones? Will it increase the cost, but in the end it turns out to be a useless function?"

"Yeah, at least one sensor is required for fingerprint recognition, right? This thing is not cheap!"

Shen Lang waited for them to finish talking, and then said unhurriedly: "I don't know if you have discovered a problem. With the popularity of smart phones, people are becoming more and more dependent on mobile phones. Take me as an example. Now I have to look at my mobile phone for at least two or three hours a day."

"The relationship between mobile phones and people is getting closer and closer, and it also brings a problem. There are more and more privacy issues involved in mobile phones. Traditional digital passwords can be unlocked at any mobile phone store on the street, which is no longer possible. To protect the privacy of users, the birth of fingerprint recognition just makes up for this shortcoming.”

Chen Yongming nodded thoughtfully. Many times, people are not so sensitive to overly familiar items. After being told by Shen Lang, he also found that he now spends more and more time facing his mobile phone. Work that can only be done on a computer can now be done with a mobile phone.

As far as he is concerned, if there is a mobile phone that supports fingerprint recognition, he will definitely buy it for security reasons!
Shen Lang looked at BOE's Wang Dongsheng and said, "As for the sensor problem, you don't need to worry too much. Mr. Wang is developing an LCD screen with an under-screen fingerprint recognition function, and the cost will not be higher than that of traditional LCD screens. How much is it expensive, and the star system will also provide software support for everyone.”

That is to say, there is no need for everyone to do anything, and the cost of mobile phones will not increase much, so that their own mobile phones can get a good selling point, which is undoubtedly good news for the mobile phone manufacturers present.

"It seems that this technology alliance is still beneficial."

"Well, Mr. Shen is really a person who does great things. This technology alliance is not for harvesting our leeks."

The representatives of the mobile phone manufacturer breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they are now relying on the star system to make a living. If Shen Lang is determined to cut leeks, these people can only shrink their necks and hope that Shen Lang's scythe will not be so hard. .

Of course, if Shen Lang really did that, it is inevitable that no one would have a different heart, and maybe he would defect to the Android camp by then.

After the meeting ended, Shen Lang arranged a banquet at the hotel and invited a group of software and hardware manufacturers to dinner. The atmosphere on the wine table was much more lively than that of the venue. Chatterboxes were opened after several glasses of wine. For businessmen, the banquet is the most A good place to make friends and find opportunities for cooperation.

Director Qiu was naturally happy to see domestic hardware and software manufacturers have closer exchanges, and he couldn't help but pat Shen Lang on the shoulder and praised.

"Mr. Shen, your star system has given us a big surprise."

Although at this time, due to the gap in the industrial chain between China and the United States, there is not much friction, but the higher-ups are still very clear, especially after the subprime mortgage crisis, domestic and foreign trade factories closed down on a large scale, making the higher-ups determined to Do industrial upgrading.

Before China joined the WTO trade system, what it assumed was the responsibility of the world's factory. To put it bluntly, it was to exchange cheap labor for a little profit from processing.

At that time, the mainland was poor and white, and even this meager profit could enable the rapid development of the mainland, but this was not a long-term solution. The disadvantage of the mainland's industrial chain relying heavily on foreign technology has begun to appear.

Especially in the high-tech industry, it looks like a domestic brand, but in fact all the accessories inside are imported, and a large amount of profits are taken away by foreign-funded enterprises in the production process, and domestic enterprises just earn money for processing fees.

At this time, Shen Lang's Xingchen system stands out from the crowd. The most important thing is that the Xingchen system not only realizes the localization of chips and mobile phone operating systems, but also drives BOE, Lens Technology, BYD and other brands to occupy a large number of mobile phones. The market share originally belonged to foreign-funded enterprises.

However, Shen Lang smiled bitterly: "Director Qiu, it's not that you don't know that I'm also under a lot of pressure now. The Android system didn't come well this time, and it attracted Penguin, Ali, and Lenovo as soon as it took action. It's still unknown if I can't bear it."

Crying children have milk, Shen Lang naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity to ask for support from the higher authorities.

Director Qiu naturally understood what Shen Lang meant, and scolded with a smile: "You kid will cry poor with me, tell me, what do you want this time?"

"Look at what you said, I'm really poor, you don't know, I invested 100 billion yuan in the chip factory, but the money is just to get a few 130NM production lines, and now TSMC's chip manufacturing process is already in production. To conquer 32NM, it takes a lot of money and effort on the industrial chain of lithography machines, etching machines, and wafer extraction. It’s hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. Without machines, chip factories can’t make more advanced chips.” Shen Lang Hehe smiled, and then said seriously.

Director Qiu nodded, and said in a low voice: "Actually, the superior department has noticed your situation, but you also know that there have been too many such things in recent years, and the superior department also needs to investigate, how about this, wait for your chip The factory is officially completed and mass production is completed, and I will invite the superiors to inspect the site."

Shen Lang also knew Director Qiu's difficulties. After all, the original "Hanxin No. [-]" made China lose a lot of face in the world, and it directly stagnated the domestic chip industry that should have been developing rapidly, and missed the best. The opportunity to catch up has been a painful lesson.

It has only been three years since the Hanxin incident, and it is normal for higher authorities to have concerns.

"How about this, isn't there a loan policy recently? You can make a report and I'll help you get a low-interest loan, but the money can only be used for chip production and research and development, understand?" Director Qiu thought about it. Think, whispered to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang's eyes brightened: "How many?"

"One billion RMB."

Seeing Shen Lang's disappointed face, Director Qiu was very annoyed: "You're too young, you really don't know how hungry you are. How many chip companies can't ask for this loan now."

"That's different. There are still people supporting them. I'm alone and rely on myself. No matter how much money I spend, I have to be responsible for my own profits and losses." up.

The banquet on Shen Lang's side was in full swing, and on the other side, Brother Xiao Ma, Jack Ma, and Yang Yuanqing were eating at the same table, but the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Xiao Ma and Yang Yuanqing are old acquaintances, the relationship between the two is relatively good, and there is a faint posture of reporting to the group.

On the other hand, Jack Ma seemed a bit out of place, just chatting with Jelson. Fortunately, his English skills were good, and Jelson also wanted to win him over, so he didn't look so awkward.

But this still makes Jack Ma very upset. The reason why he switched to the Android camp is to avoid being stuck. Now the only hardware mobile phone manufacturer in the Android camp is fighting fiercely with his competitors. How can he not be worried.

After a few bites, Jack Ma lost his appetite. When he returned to the hotel room, he immediately called Cai Chongxin and expressed his worries.

Cai Chongxin also had some headaches. He didn't know the process of the falling out between Jack Ma and Shen Lang. In his heart, Cai Chongxin actually disapproved of Jack Ma doing this. Coupled with Shen Lang's counterattack, Ali lost A large number of reservoir funds were lost, which can be described as heavy losses.

If you are still suppressed in the Android camp, you will lose too thoroughly.

Jack Ma suddenly had an idea: "Lao Cai, tell me, what if we make our own mobile phones?"

Cai Chongxin was a little overwhelmed by Jack Ma's bold idea, and he said helplessly after a long time.

"However, we have absolutely no experience and accumulation in this area. Most importantly, none of us know how to make a mobile phone."

Jack Ma's ideas have always been unconstrained, and he never considers these details.

In his view, as long as he is determined to do it and is willing to pay the price, there is nothing that cannot be done. It seems that from the beginning of Alibaba, some people said that his business model must not work, and it is not done now?

Jack Ma asked Cai Chongxin a question: "Do you think Lenovo alone can defeat Xiaomi and Meizu? What's more, there are so many mid-to-low-end mobile phone manufacturers, Jelson and Yang Yuanqing can't be relied on, we still rely on ourselves! "

"We don't know how to make mobile phones, so we should find someone who knows how to do it."

Cai Chongxin's eyes lit up: "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Jack Ma laughed loudly: "The parents who gave birth to me, Lao Cai who knew me, haha, yes, I think of a person, he is absolutely willing, and he has enough reasons to deal with Shen Lang!"

"You mean sassafras?" Cai Chongxin blurted out.

Jack Ma smiled proudly: "That's right, it's him, I think, he should also be waiting for this day to come!"

That's right, Huang Zhang is indeed waiting for the day of revenge. Since being kicked out of Meizu by Shen Lang, Huang Zhang has a large amount of cash in his hand, but he has not started a new business.

The reason is also very simple. He knows that Shen Lang's mobile phone has the star system, and Symbian has been acquired by Nokia. Even if he starts a new mobile phone brand, he will not escape the fate of being controlled by Shen Lang in the end.

This is not what Sassafras wants. As for developing a mobile phone operating system by himself, Sassafras has no idea at all. He has been in contact with the Star System since the very beginning. It can be said that apart from He Xiaopeng and Shen Lang, there is no one People are more aware of the power of the star system than he is.

Huang Zhang is very clear that the best time to be an operating system has already passed, and he has to admire Shen Lang's vicious vision and his precise timing.

So during this time, Sassafras has been dormant waiting for an opportunity, and the Android system has naturally entered his field of vision, but he has not blindly joined the Android camp, but is waiting for the development of the Android system.

Later, as he expected, the Android system's entry into the mainland market was frustrated, which made Huang Zhang even more thankful that he had no impulse at the beginning, otherwise, the little money in his hand would have been completed long ago, and there is no need to make a comeback.

It wasn't until recently that Jelson successively recruited Lenovo, Penguin, and Ali to join the Android camp that Sassafras began to be excited.

When Jack Ma found Sassafras, he just came back from a vacation in the Maldives. Sassafras was a little surprised by Jack Ma's arrival. After all, the two had never met before, let alone friendship.

"Mr. Huang is still living a cool life. I wonder if Mr. Huang has thought about coming out of the mountain again?" Jack Ma didn't go around the bush, and went straight to the point.

Huang Zhang was slightly taken aback: "Why can't I understand Mr. Ma's words?"

"Meizu was founded by Mr. Huang alone. Didn't Mr. Huang ever think about taking it back one day?" Jack Ma looked at Sassafras playfully.

Huang Zhang clenched his fists, and his tone was a little blunt: "Mr. Ma is here to tell me these things? As far as I know, Mr. Ma has just been kicked out of the star camp. He suffered a heavy loss, right?"

Jack Ma was not angry, and said frankly: "That's right, so we have a common enemy, why don't we cooperate?"

Huang Zhang calmed down after hearing the words, and said with a sneer, "It's up to you and me, what are we going to fight with Shen Lang now?"

"Plus Google?" Jack Ma said.

"We can't beat Shen Lang on our own. The ecological chain of the Xingchen system is too perfect. We can't break this system with our strength. But Google has such capabilities. The Android system has already launched an assault on the Nokia dynasty. Xingchen The system is its next target!"

Huang Zhang was actually moved, but he didn't trust Jack Ma: "If this is the case, why should I cooperate with you? Just join the Android camp."

"Mr. Huang should understand the reason why Meizu can achieve today's achievements and rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade." Jack Ma said confidently.
