Rebuild 2005

Chapter 667 [667] It's not your dog

It was a normal business dinner at noon, and there was no specific business, but after returning to the company, Wei Qingfan briefly met with a few other people, and discussed the security issue of the mobile phone screen supply chain in the future.

At this time, LCD is the absolute mainstream in smartphone screens. Basically, only Samsung is using AMOLED screens. HTC used Samsung’s AMOLED screens on the G2010 (Desire) in 7.

Then, because it sold better, it was cut off by Samsung

——Samsung, or the vast majority of stick companies, have really bad credit in this regard.

In 2010, the supply of HTC G7 and Huawei Mate9 Pro were cut off. Since then, Huawei has started to cooperate with BOE on the screen of its flagship mobile phone, and it wants to get rid of the threat of a single supplier despite its infamy.

After MOV, Samsung’s OLED screen is still used. On the one hand, Samsung’s advantage in OLED screens is too great, and the screen is really good.

Even if Samsung has always provided top-level screens for Apple, first-class screens for itself, and inferior screens for other brands, it will still be at the level of other companies before 2022.

On the other hand, the high-end markets impacted by the three MOV companies are all domestic high-end markets. There is no threat to Samsung in the international market, but in China, Samsung is already other, so there is no need to do this kind of thing.

As for cutting off the supply to Apple... Leaving aside the fact that ios and Android are not the same track, as far as they are American companies, you, a colony, dare to cut off supply to giant companies in the suzerain country, do you want to die?

Looking back, iPhone 4 has already adopted a fully laminated IPS screen. Before iPhone X adopted OLED screens in 2017, LCD screens using fully laminated technology were the absolute mainstream of mobile phone screens.

After the iPhone X led into the era of full screen (special-shaped screen), OLED screen became the mainstream.

By that time, domestic screen suppliers, such as BOE and China Star Optoelectronics, have already begun to rise. From now on, Wei Qingfan is not worried about the screen supply at that time. Need "support".

Several people in the inner circle reaffirmed the idea that "eggs cannot be put in one basket", and discussed how to disclose the news that "Mr. Wei intends to choose partners from the 'Manjianghong' supply chain for deeper cooperation" Effective, and which supplier has the potential for in-depth cooperation.

"By the way, Mr. Wei, there is one more thing."

Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Haiming suddenly thought of something and said aloud, "I recently noticed that a company is looking for HP and Lenovo to promote their fingerprint recognition technology, which can be used in laptops and mobile phones. technology."

Wei Qingfan asked, "Which company?"

Zhao Haiming thought for a while and said, "It's called Authen Tec."

Wei Qingfan was speechless for a while.

This is the fingerprint identification technology company that was originally acquired by Apple in history, and successively promoted their fingerprint identification technology to HP, Lenovo, Dell, LG, Samsung, and Nokia.

No one agrees.

Then in 2012, Apple directly acquired the company at a price of 3.5 million US dollars, and used it on the iPhone 5S the following year, thus starting the wave of biometric technology for smartphones.

Zhang Yuanping asked: "How is their technology? Do you know anything about it?"

"I inquired about it, and it seems to be quite mature, but I don't know the specific situation."

After Zhao Haiming answered, he looked at Wei Qingfan, "Do you want to contact him?"

"Need not."

Wei Qingfan shook his head, "It's not an exclusive, it doesn't mean much to us, and we don't have the ability to win the exclusive. Goodix has already made progress, and at the latest by the middle of next year, we will be able to come up with usable fingerprint recognition technology." .”

More importantly, Apple does not use fingerprint recognition technology. Even if Gushici Company uses it, it will not have such great influence and appeal.

No way, this is Apple, and even ten years later, Apple's advantage in this area is still far ahead.

Even if Goodix develops a usable fingerprint recognition technology next year, Wei Qingfan will not immediately use it on mobile phones, because it is meaningless.

Only the iPhone was the first to use fingerprint recognition technology, which caused a sensation. Gushi mobile phones were launched at the same time, taking advantage of the popularity of fingerprint recognition brought by the iPhone.

Compared with Android friends, I have fingerprint recognition;
Compared with the iPhone, I have a large screen with long battery life, an open Android system, and it is cheaper.

In 11 and 12, the two generations of mobile phones will enter the wine market. They must first lay a solid foundation and learn how to make high-end mobile phones. When the third generation of mobile phones will enter the market in 13, they will fly high in one fell swoop by taking advantage of the fingerprint recognition!
Tang Tingyue said: "If we don't contact, this company sells fingerprint recognition technology to others, then we have no advantage."

This idea was immediately recognized by everyone, and they spoke up one after another. Wei Qingfan said with a smile: "We want to be exclusive, and others must also want to, and this is not only supported by hardware, it must be adapted by software to play a better role." Effect……"

He paused, and asked Zhao Haiming and Wang Qinggen: "Do you know anyone from Apple?"

Wang Qinggen hesitated, "What do you mean?"

"If you choose a company to get this technology, of course Apple is the most suitable."

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "iOS and Android are two tracks, and Apple has a stronger appeal among developers. Even if the iPhone is adapted first, the Android version will be adapted gradually... We can find a way Break the news to Apple."

He said, pondered for a while, and said: "Forget it, don't do meaningless actions, we don't have to worry about it, just do our own thing."

This is to prevent the butterfly effect. According to the original historical trend, Apple will acquire Authen Tec next year. If this is done, even if Apple acquires it in advance, according to the company’s urgency, it will not be released on iPhone5 in advance. the technology.

And once things develop in another direction, for example, several companies are still paying attention, and because of Apple's involvement, they attract the attention of Samsung and HTC, and then change the history, it will be funny.

In this era, no mobile phone company can replace iPhone's promotion and influence on the development of the smartphone industry.

Regardless of Gu Shici, Samsung, or HTC, the release of fingerprint unlocking in advance is over, and there is no way for developers to quickly follow up and adapt.

It is not good to succeed, and it will bring inestimable impact if it is not successful. In this case, it is better not to superfluous.

There is no way to say all these words. Wei Qingfan can only convince everyone with the reason that "no one pays attention now, and there is no need to add heat to this matter", so that the hardware department and the supply department will pay more attention to the cooperation with Goodix, and the end Discussion of this little episode.

Usually, there was no overtime work on Saturdays. Anyway, Wei Qingfan seldom worked overtime. After get off work, he waved with Jiang Qinghuai and went downstairs smoothly.

Jiang Qinghuai rolled his eyes and went to find Zhou Li.

Li Wanyi doesn't have many things to do in the afternoon, or there are not many things that she really needs to be responsible for personally, but Qingyun headquarters is currently small in scale and the framework is not complete. Many times, she needs to do things herself, and she is also willing to do it.

This Saturday, the performance of the company's stores and online stores has been good recently, so she simply let everyone rest earlier in the afternoon, and she went back earlier.

When Wei Qingfan returned home, the two women were chatting in the kitchen. The cat and dog ran over when they heard the noise, and then Li Miaoyu poked his head out, looked at him, then snorted, and retreated again.

Wei Qingfan walked over and said with a smile, "What are you doing deliciously?"

While talking, he took Li Miaoyu's tender and soft little hand. Li Miaoyu struggled slightly, and seeing that he would not let go, she was very happy to let him hold it, and said a little proudly: "Bitter melon! I I bought it with my sister."

Wei Qingfan immediately wrinkled into a bitter face, "Why are you buying this thing?"

Li Wanyi said angrily: "Eating bitter gourd in summer is good for your health."

"Exercise is good for your body. I haven't seen you exercising all day long?"

Wei Qingfan curled his lips in dissatisfaction, the three of them lived together, on the whole they were happy and harmonious, but naturally there were inevitably some collisions of different habits and ideas in life.

For example, bitter gourd, such as eggs, Li Wanyi was told by her elders since she was a child that they are all good things. This may be because the older generation in the era of material shortages can say that "good for the body" is not just for the sake of life. Eat something that is not hungry.

Li Miaoyu doesn't care about these things, and she is soft-tempered and very obedient. Wei Qingfan has listened to his mother nagging about these things for two lifetimes, which is really annoying.

However, this naturally has not reached the level of quarreling and losing their temper. The three of them are very measured in these aspects.

It's all friction in small details. He doesn't like to eat, and Li Wanyi will not really force him to eat. Occasionally nagging, or deliberately putting it in front of him after preparing it, is more of a careful interaction between couples.

Li Wanyi said angrily, "Didn't I exercise often?"

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "After Miaomiao left, how many times have you been there?"

The two are not active in exercising, they just go to the women's club occasionally, take a yoga class by the way, and occasionally stretch their bodies at home.

When Li Miaoyu was around, Li Wanyi was with her, and it was more often. When Li Miaoyu was not around, sometimes she was in a hurry, and she could even stretch.

"That's better than you too."

Li Wanyi glared at him angrily, "You don't eat this one, you don't eat that one, how long has it been since you hit your sandbag?"

"Nonsense, I just called last night."

"I didn't see it anyway."

The two of them quarreled, Li Miaoyu was listening by the side, and silently remembered that they could use it when anyone quarreled with him later.

Because Li Miaoyu just came back, naturally everything was centered on her. Li Wanyi cooked four dishes, sweet and sour pork ribs, shredded pork with green peppers and potatoes, scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, fried shredded eggplant, and a cucumber preserved egg soup, as well as her favorite dish. My favorite scallion pancakes.

"Did you call your parents?" Wei Qingfan asked when serving the dishes one after another.

"No."

Li Miaoyu pouted, "I was afraid that they would let Wang Jinjin talk, so I sent them a voice message in the group. Anyway, I have already said it. I am traveling and very busy."

Wei Qingfan nodded, asked casually, and stopped paying attention to such trivial matters.

"Come, welcome our lovely Miaomiao back to her loyal capital!"

After the three of them sat down together, they touched the bowl with a sense of ritual, although it contained cucumber preserved egg soup.

"Yeah! It's delicious!"

Li Miaoyu took a sip of the soup, was full of praise, and then started to eat, "I'm so hungry... I feel like I can eat it all by myself."

"Hehehe."

"go away!"

"Oh."

"Have you told everyone who will have dinner tomorrow the time and place?"

"No, wait a minute."

"Ah."

"By the way, Miao Miao, you have to learn to drive. It will be troublesome when you go back to class and get busy."

"Hehehe~"

Hearing Li Wanyi mention the driver's license, Li Miaoyu suddenly laughed triumphantly, put down her chopsticks and went back to the room without saying a word.

Li Wanyi and Wei Qingfan looked at each other, Li Wanyi said: "Is it okay now?"

"Sure, the difference is only in the difficulty."

Wei Qingfan curled his lips, and then he saw Li Miaoyu coming over proudly holding the certificate, showing it to them, raising his chin, looking very arrogant, "Look! I took the exam myself!"

"Really?"

Li Wanyi was a little skeptical, "You took the exam?"

"Yup!"

Li Miaoyu nodded seriously, "I'm really going to take the exam."

Wei Qingfan curled his lips, then took out his mobile phone and took a photo of her driver's license, "Yes, points will be deducted for an extra driver's license in the future."

"I won't give you a deduction."

Li Miaoyu took back her driver's license, "Don't think I don't understand, you can sell it for money, you can buy it from me..."

She puffed her cheeks and snorted, "I finally managed to make money by myself, so don't try to lie to me."

Li Wanyi smiled and said: "Then go practice driving when you have time, and you can buy a car if you know how to drive it. What kind of car do you want?"

"let me see."

Li Miaoyu picked up the chopsticks and thought seriously while eating, "I'm not as tasteless as the two of you. I want to buy a good car, a very beautiful one...the one that will be 'wow' when others see it..."

"A sports car?"

"It has to be a four-seater, and the two-seater can't be opened."

"Even if a sports car has four seats, the one behind it is also a 'dog seat', right?"

Li Miaoyu and Li Wanyi were discussing, Wei Qingfan was triggered by the keyword, looked up at them, Li Miaoyu blinked, quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not your dog, it's that dog... ...that is, the back seat is very small..."
